Happy Holdiays!!!

In January the 8th graders will begin the 1960's unit in language arts. Within the 4 week unit, students will watch informational videos and participate in class discussions involving the important events within the decade. Students will also research a particular topic and participate in a formal debate.


I hope everyone has a relaxing holiday! Enjoy the valuable time you have with family and friends! See you in the new year!
