Notes

6S, the deadline for the Ancient Athens Museum is drawing closer. I've seen some students make a lot of progress on the components of their museum displays, caps and hands-on project. Others are still struggling to find their focus. My great desire for all of you is that you complete that project on time, and that create something of which you are proud. Let's all work toward that goal.
