Hi Shannon, I finally found you on here! Doesn't look like much activity on this particular group though. Is there any other group out there with more discussion?

Hi Leann, My daughter is going to A school for OS -she says on her birthday 6/11. There is also another OS group that I started. Maybe we can all get together.
