Grades come out next week!

Yes, this is the last week to turn in assignments for the first six weeks of the semester.  Remember that any assignment not turned in from this first six weeks will be added to your grade as a zero, which will negatively impact your grade.  Get those assignments turned in! 

FIELD TRIP!!!

Twelfth Night is on!  We will be going to see James Navlyt in his first Shakespearean performance on Wednesday, March 16th, at 7pm.  Check out the Black Swan Youth Theatre for more information, and if you are interested in going, let me know by Friday, March 11th - you will get extra credit for your English class.  The cost will be $5.00, a gas donation to our drivers, and you will need to have a parent fill out a permission form.  Let me know ASAP if you want to go.
