Summer!

Thanks to all of my outstanding students for all of your hard work this year! You guys were patient, understanding, and taught me tons of valuable lessons whether you realize it or not! You were also lots of fun (and interesting at times...) and I couldn't have asked for a better first year!
Thanks to the parents for all their advice and the staff for helping me whenever I needed it!!
HAVE A WONDERFUL, RELAXING SUMMER!!

Posted 3-10-08: In addition to the Media Literacy Unit we will be completing our 10th grade requirement of writing a research paper. The topic is a current controversial issue of the student's choice. A formal speech will also be given at the end of May covering the same topic and will be 1/3 of the final exam grade. Parents, please make sure your child is keeping up with the assignments and due dates as this is a large portion of their 4th quarter and final exam grade.
