We will have an extended recess on Thursday - a prize won earlier this year. Sister Rochelle has agreed to let 8th grade wear sneakers and gym clothes on Thursday so that you can play safely. (You will not have to bring your uniform that day.)
I have added the official websites for the three major candidates for President to my favorite websites. Check out how they each stand on various issues.
