Creating a Valentine's Day Card Template


Creating a Google DOCS Template


It is so easy to use Google DOCS, especially when the hard work is already done for you.
But TODAY... you're the one that is doing the hard work for someone else. But, don't worry, the hard work is just as easy.


You are going to create a template and help us build a HUGE database North Star Charter School Valentine's Day cards.
