We did it!!! End of Year AIG Newsletter
A Note from Mrs. Shook
It's been a challenge, but we are approaching the finish line! I am proud of everyone (students, teachers, and parents) for working so hard to continue learning.
This week, I am only posting one assignment. It is a reflection on the school year that you ma y wish to keep to remember this time.
For those of you headed into 8th grade, please check out the 8th grade Math options. We have created a video and form for parents to learn more.
I miss all of you! I hope to see our 8th graders at their drive-thru celebration, and everyone else in the fall.
Sincerely,
Mrs. Shook
