Activities for week sixteen 1/3 - 1/6 - 2012

In his book My Personal Best, John Wooden writes, "There is a choice you have to make in everything you do, so keep in mind that in the end, the choice you make makes you." As we finish the first semester you can still raise your grade by doing well on your remaining assignments and making the choice to excel.

Please check Aeries and know your grade; if you are not at 100% in your reading points all you have to do is come in and read (10 points for ten minutes) (before school, break, or after school -see me for after school-).
