Be sure you are turning in all homework and in class assignments so I can give you credit for what you do! Progress reports go out Friday, 11/12.

A few more events....
On Tuesday 11/9, from 5:30-7:30 pm  there will be a school-wide fundraiser at Peter Piper Pizza on Broadway (the new HUGE one... haven't been there yet!) Each student will get a free raffle ticket for a chance to win prizes and a class pizza party will be awarded to the class with the most students in attendance. Also, bring friends! Each additional person you bring counts toward your class attendance!

Veterans Day is Thursday 11/11 -- NO SCHOOL! However, Friday 11/12 will be a regular school day, and progress reports will be handed out in 6th period. A nice little break, though!
