Goodbye and enjoy your summer days

Late Work Amnesty

Today is the day. No late work will be accepted after 11:59p tonight for anything that is late up to this point!

A Birthday

People often times forget the joy of birthdays, they are the days in the years in which people are born. Not only do they represent life, but they’re also a time for friends and peers alike to celebrate their friends. It serves as a day in which a person can be given special [...]

Netiquette and General Decorum

As promised, I have taken down the passionate, but slightly off-topic thread under the “A Call for Creative Work” post. As a rule, please use your login and standard identity when posting on this blog. If we need to create artificial identities, then I suppose we shouldn’t be saying whatever it is we’re saying.
This is [...]

A Tribute to You–the best students on the web!

The site with the most student involvement was by Mr. Brent Eldridge, http://brenteldridge.edublogs.org/. There were amazing conversations that included the students and it seemed as if everyday a student would write a [...]
