Congrats! The end of the year is only 5 days away! Some of you are already done for the summer ;-)

Mon-Wed: ONLY BE ON CAMPUS IF YOU ARE TAKING EOG's OR EOC's

If you are on campus for exams this week, please continue to drop off tools and supplies. The cart will be outside my classroom in the F building. If the door is locked, you can leave things under the bench outside instead.

If you name is below you have work on the drop of car that needs to be picked up:

Princess Perz-Jiminez s
"EC"- (cat cup and bowl)
Gabrielle Patterson
Sierra Oliver
Amelie He-Demontrion
Victoria Saa-Grandosa

It has been one crazy year but I hope everyone at least had some good memories to take from it all. It's been wonderful being your teacher and thank you all for your patience as we learned how to navigate remote learning and a pandemic together. I hope y'all take a much needed break this summer and hope to see many of you back in the fall.
