Girls and boys basketball teams start this week: Sarah Kerrigan and I will be coaching the girls' team; Ken Akerman will be coaching the boys' team. Game schedules will come out later this month.
Each student began to create their own web site last week and they were really excited about it! The site will focus on each student's learning and how they can show what they have learned and accomplished at school. We've just got started and will have an official web site launch later in the month.
