It was good to see everyone yesterday except of course Sarrah and Jake who were missed. We had another great day filled with learning, laughter and chatter, lots of chatter. Parents please make sure especially that your high school students are reading this blog for themselves if only so that they may get their homework assignments. And if you could check it behind them just as a backup to ensure that they and you know what their assignment is that would help keep them on track. Also, it is excellent practice for their college years to check their assignments and follow on their own, especially if they ever take an online class.
Everyone is becoming very good at pitching in and getting that place in top shape at the end of the day! Thanks for all of your hard work.
Julie Nacar is having a bonfire at her house friday of next week and all high schoolers and middle schoolers are invited. It will be a great time for the students to get to know one another better outside of classes. Please check your email for details.
Just a couple of reminders, please make sure all of our students know that there is no reason for any of them to be in the sanctuary except one or two when accompanied by an adult for cleaning purposes. Also, please dont put anything into the toilets but toilet paper. No paper towels or any other object besides tp should be in the toilets.

American History- As a side note, it is really cool to see the chapters perfectly aligned with our
literature reading, both for Sacagawea and now Key to Honor. The kids are
seeing the same names come up in their history and literature, which makes for
greater memory retention later when they see these names come up again as high
school students. Awesome!

All dress-ups should appear in the middle of sentences, not at the beginning.
