Happy Holidays!

I hope everyone is enjoying their vacation and time with friends and family.  I miss you all and I think of you often.  I am keeping my fingers crossed that you are having a wonderful holiday season.

Love,

Busy Week

While most of you are so excited for the winter break, this week is very important.  Monday and Tuesday we will be reviewing for the Algebra Benchmark on Wednesday.  Monday, will be spent reviewing for the science benchmark on Tuesday.  These scores will be used, along with your grades, to place you in high school courses next year.  The final day to turn in late work is Monday, and after I get your benchmark scores I will begin calculating your quarter grades.  Thursday, we will review the benchmark scores and Friday is a minimum day.  We will be treated to a holiday concert by our band and choir Friday as well.  So, please focus and try to stay out of trouble (in and out of the classroom).

Pass Along the Holiday Spirit!

I would like to ask those of you who are able to bring in non-perishable food items for the needy.  The school is trying to do a food drive and I would very much like for all of us to participate....if you are able.  In addition, I am collecting socks and slippers to be distributed to a local Beaumont Elderly home.  I will give 1 point extra credit toward your science grade for each can, 5 points for socks, and 10 points for slippers.  However, let's keep the spirit of giving in mind.  Trust me, giving to those less fortunate makes you feel so good and often the elderly are overlooked.

Happy Holidays!
Mrs. Taylor
