Hello Parents and Guardians:
*We had a wonderful experience in Greek Town last week. Our team wishes to thank all our parent volunteers for assisting us. Thanks to our students for bringing their money and their permission slips in so quickly, and for their great behavior.
*I’m still looking for the new textbooks. Please check your home textbook for a label that contains the Follett book company name, which will be inside the cover. I will switch them for a better book and return the defective ones.
* Students received a note regarding the expectations for our last Greek project, “Greek
Connections,” on Monday & their rubric on Wed. Please sign it & I will return it that same day.
