Notes

To second Zoe's recent comment, it is hard to believe that the school year will soon be ending. To some degree I feel like I just started getting used to 6th grade at Prospect Sierra. In the meantime, though, students have grown taller, learned a lot and come that much closer to being teens. Time flies. Even though the end is so clearly in sight, and we all have started to think about the future, whether it be summer plans or 7th grade, we still have 2 weeks of school left. We still have some work to do; you can daydream about the summer sun, but only a little.


Joke of the Day

When you call a dog, they usually come to you.
When you call a cat; they take a message.
