Notes

As the end of the year approaches we'll be talking more about 7th grade as well as participating in some special events. I'll try to keep you posted by putting scheduled events on this blog. BTW, because of a computer mishap this morning I've lost many of the pictures I've taken since the beginning of the year. If anyone has pictures of the Greek Museum, the Halloween parade, etc, please share them with me. Thanks much, Suzette
