Notes

The first day of ERB's was rainy and dreary, but 6S did a great job throughout the day getting drafts of their Farmfolks pieces typed early in the day, and being quiet and respectful during testing. Everyone got a little stir-crazy because of testing and the weather and not so many oppurtunities to run around outside, but it looks like we mostly had a good day. 4 more days of ERB's to go.


Joke of the Day

A high-school student came home from school seeming rather depressed.
“What’s the matter, son,” asked his mother.
“Aw, gee,” said the boy, “it’s my marks. They’re all wet.”
“What do you mean, “all wet”?”
“I mean,” he replied, “below C-level.”
