2nd Semester 3rd Week's lesson 2/9 - 2/13 - 2009

Andrew Carnegie once said, "There is no use whatever trying to help people who do not help themselves. You cannot push anyone up a ladder unless he is willing to climb himself." I hope you want to climb the ladder of success - your success. The District should be done down loading Aeries, and this week I should be able to get your grades up on Aeries, please check Aeries and know where you are in our class.
