A copy is attached here in case you haven’t seen it. Please read over it with your child, sign the bottom and return it to your child’s math teacher.
Math 6 will has completed Chapter 8 of our Express Yourself unit. We moved the quiz to next Wednesday (1/20) to allow more time for review.

World Wear Project -
Be a part of diverting thousands of pounds of shoes and clothing from local landfills by filling our shoes and clothing donation bin with your gently used shoes, clothing, purses, belts, wallets, hats, caps, backpacks, hard toys, stuffed animals, and pots and pans.
Frankford has partnered with the World Wear Project. For every pound collected, our PTA receives $0.15. The benefit to you? Neater closets, drawers, toy boxes, and kitchens, and the knowledge that less textile waste will end up in our local landfills. Our World Wear Project donation box is located in the parking lot by the gym.
