Bonne soirée! Have a good night!

Today, two notices went home.
- One notice was a letter to introduce this blog.
- The other notice was information about an activity happening tomorrow, Wednesday, January 5th, 2011. Students are getting into their Community-Based Advisories from the first week in September for some team building activities tomorrow afternoon during Block 4 and 5. Students are asked to bring an 'object of significance' to school. Ex: this object could be a photo of a special vacation or trip or it could be a teddy bear given to them by a special person. Any ideas are welcome, but, please, no pets or living things!:)
Bonne soirée! Have a good night!
