Notes:

Halloween was great fun at school yesterday and it seemed like everyone enjoyed walking the runway. Speaking of Halloween, congrats to Danny (Most Undead) and Katie (most animalistic) for there prize wins yesterday.

Today we had some Halloween hangovers, but managed to do some significant work. I handed out next week's schedule so that students will be prepared for our days next week.

Just a reminder: everyone should bring a book everyday of testing. Also be sure to get plenty of rest, and to eat healthily!

By the way, check out this event sponsored by Step It Up! One of the winners of the Brower Youth awards initiated the program. Click here for Green City Gallery.
