Good Morning Students, 

            I hope you all enjoyed your extra time this morning. Be sure you bundle up whenever you are outside in weather like this. Today is a ‘C’ day so we will go to Library.  We will also be using our 2-Hour Delay Schedule so things will be a bit different. Please pick up an Ipad and work on the Point to Ponder. 

                            Thank you

                       Mrs. Sargent & Mr. T.
