April+30+-+May+4

Shorten week. No school Friday for Vigilante activities. Thursday, students who are attending school can participate in Vigilante academy for fun or they can come to class to study.

Poetry on Fire is tonight, Monday at 7:00 at the Lewis and Clark Library. Participants need to be there at 6:30 to register. I’m expecting amazing things from students in this English class! Please come and watch.

We are watching Touching the Void while studying media literacy. Students are looking for places in the documentary that might not be the way it is presented. They are turning these questions in on Wednesday. The film is available on Netflix.
