Each team will take a field trip to the Oak Bend Branch once a month with both their ELA teacher and Mrs. Tumminello. Please complete the application for a St. Louis County Library card and return it to your 7th Grade ELA teacher the library, or the front office as soon as possible.

We're looking for local businesses and professionals to partner with for our career fair on April 17th. The time commitment would be from 7:30am to 11am.
We are hoping to find local businesses to speak to our kids about their career fields and professionals who are able to offer insight to our students about resume building, soft skills, and interviews.
If you are interested in volunteering, please contact Emily Bardot at bardot.emily@wgmail.org or 918-4655.

Classroom Happenings
ELA: Ms. Kraushaar
Students continued working on their literary analysis writing (companion books) this week. The final piece will be due after break. Don’t forget to read over break; 2 books are due at the end of March!
Science: Mrs. Tobey
Social Studies: Mr. Cahn
Students wrapped up their summative projects this week. In our last two days before break, students learned about the Byzantine Empire and its lasting cultural legacy. They created portraits in the style of Byzantine icons, which are quite delightful and will make a striking display.
After Break we’ll begin the Middle Ages.
