Up Coming Information

I hope you are all well rested and ready to begin the final trimester of the 2007 - 2008 school year.

During the first week back from break, you will be taking the CTP4 test. This test will take both class periods.

Don't forget to turn in your permission slip for the field trip on March 19th at the Lycee. We will be watching a child labor video sponsored by the Human Rights Committee. We will be meeting at the Lycee flagpoles at 8:25am and you will need to be picked up at noon.

We are still trying to reorganize the trip to the Cluny Museum and the Institute du Arabe. At this point, we will most likely be going in April.

Also, you should begin researching your persona for the Medieval Banquet Project. I will give you more information about the project after break. FYI - Your persona paper is due the week before Spring Break.

Lycee Students-
Please, see me to set up an advisory appointment.
