Mr. Page’s Newsletter – 03/13/12

           

1.     State Projects are over. YEA! Everyone did well, and all of the projects were turned in on time! Projects have been graded and returned to students. Remember, this will be 25% of the 3^rd nine week’s social studies grade. Thanks to all of the students for all of their hard work (parents, too)!

2.     Our student of the week is Jacob Medlen. Jacob works hard and is trying to become the best he can be. He turns his work in on time and is very neat. He gets along with all his peers and is very cooperative. He is making progress each grading period. He is very deserving of this honor. Congratulations, Skip!
