PAA 9 - Students are still working on their hand sewing and some have started their design project.

HLTH 9 - We have finished up the addictions unit and are ready for the next unit after the new year.

ELA 20 - Students are working hard on finishing up a rough draft of their research essays, including in text citations and a works cited page. They will also have their To Kill a Mockingbird test on Monday.

Happy Holidays!!!!
