Already October

Time flies when we're having fun! We are into October and there are a few reminders for tomorrow and this week:

Please send back your student's progress report with your signature ASAP.
gods/goddesses party on Wednesday, if you need more info contact Elizabeth Tracy.

scholars are writing their essay this week on study strategies. We covered the board with ideas this morning. They need to pick three, preferably three that will help them succeed, and talk about how to use them productively in their educational careers. This exercise will be a reference tool for each of them for the rest of the year.

If you have a scholar that is staying for Speech and Debate Club on Thursdays, please be looking for information coming soon on a fundraiser for the club.  Mrs. Pope is helping put together a pancake breakfast to help raise funds for the club. If you are interested in helping her, please feel free to contact her. We will be discussing ideas for scripts, duos, and prose pieces this week. We will also be practicing Impromptu, LD, Public Forum, and Congress. Please be certain that if your scholar is staying after school, that they are serious about competitive debate. We have had some scholars just "hanging" out at practice and not willing to do the work required of competitive debate. If this behavior continues, scholars will be asked to call home and get a ride. Club is not an alternative to daycare. Thank you. :)
