Thursday, March 15th Field Trip - 3rd & 4th periods
On Thursday, March 15th 3rd and 4th period will have the opportunity to go on a field trip to Gomela/To Return at the 7 Stages Theatre.  If you are available to help chaperone, please email me.  

I passed out the field trip form on Friday, and it is due by Tuesday, March 13th.  I will have additional copies for students who weren't in class.  Lastly, I had to talk to 4th period because more than half of the students in that class haven't completed two or more weeks worth of homework. They were instructed to complete their missing homework in order to be able to go on the field trip.  If your child is in my 4th period and you have an issue with this, please email me.
