What an emotional weekend! Blood pressure got a little out of hand during the Steeler game, if any of you had an opportunity to watch the game you would so understand. But I'm much better today and ready to get back to school.

Literature classes will continue researching WWII and preparing to read "Man's Search for Meaning." BOOK REVIEW INFORMATION: Due to the cost of the tri-boards and the difficulty of trying to find them, students may use colored paper for the background as a way to display their information.

Writing classes will be covering common usage problems and taking a quiz on Friday.

Study Skills classes will be starting a technology unit.
