Parents,  The deadline for donations for the auction is this Friday! Anything is appreciated. Friday is a Spirit Day Students can bring Valentine's Day treats on the 14th if they would like. The 18th of February the 8th grade is going to Career Day at Swcc. More information to come. I will send out a permission slip sometime this week. The 19th of February we do not have school due to professional development. Classroom updates: 8th grade is just getting into their third novel, "The Hunger Games".  With this novel we are focusing on characterization. The 7th grade is reading "Night" by Elie Wiesel.

Hey Parents,  Here are a few things:  Tomorrow is a Spirit Day so the kids can wear sweatpants for $1! Tomorrow is also an optional sack lunch day. Hot lunch will be provided if your child chooses not to bring a sack lunch. A run down on what we are doing in language arts: 8th grade just started on the theme of the story and how stories can contain symbols. We just reviewed through the first few units because the class felt confident in knowing the material, so did I so we moved on.
