Good evening everyone,

I'd like to encourage everyone to share with their families all that they learned today during the wonderful Junior Achievement Program.  All that we learned about money and finances was incredibly valuable.  I'm so thankful that you are beginning to learn these things at such a young age.


Please find your homework below.

Good evening ladies & gentlemen,

I hope you all have a terrific March Break.  Please notice that I have changed the due date for the History assignment to March 31st.  Hopefully you have most of it complete already, and there will be no more class time given, but my hope is that this will allow you to have a more relaxing break.

The only thing "due" is section 3 for literature circles.  It is due the Wednesday we get back.
