Mock Battle this Wednesday!
We will be meeting during the two PLT times (10:58 - 12:36) for a mock battle in the library. If you have a student who is on a team, remind them to come to the library during that ENTIRE time. Kids may bring their lunch.
Also remind kids that if they are interested in being on a BOB team, to see me. The sooner the better.
Thanks!
