FOUR DAY SCHOOL

WEEK?

Our district is reluctant to look at the four-day
school week as a way to save money. I invite you to do some reading for yourself. To your left there is a link to some 15 articles that address the four-day week. Check out that link, and inform yourself.

REMEMBER!

In order to earn an "A" you have to earn all of the required AR points.

Don't forget to be reading. It doesn't matter which class you're in; you need to be reading on your own time.
