8th Grade Speeches - If your child has a speech coming up, please make sure he/she has sat with me at least once 1 week prior to their speech. It would also be helpful if you worked with him/her on it. These are a BIG deal for our amazing 8th graders. We all want them to succeed and feel proud of themselves for giving this speech. Please be in communication with me if you are unsure if your child has worked with me.

FIELD STUDIES - We are off to Orenco Station tomorrow! I hope you are having interesting conversations about our Urban Planning Studies. It really is fun, interesting and difficult all at the same time.
