Curriculum
Classroom activities
The new year promises to bring adventure and excitement to the junior high class.The major project that we will undertake is the class research papers. As we draw closer to this project I will share more information with you. The excitement is, of course, that warmer spring weather will be with us soon and that always means that the school year will come to a close faster than we realize.
Thanks to all the students in the junior high who make each day fun and rewarding.
