Brilliant work by our students
7th Grade Students just finished reading Ghost by Jason Reynolds. Here are a few of the rough drafts our 7th graders are working on to submit to the Norfolk Public Library Book Review Contest. Here are a few of the samples. We are so proud of their hard work. Congrats to Johnathan, Justin, Dino, and Jeron for having your work highlighted.
