A few quick updates:
1) No school Friday — PD day.
2) In co-op this week, we’ll be prepping for our first council — which will begin on Thursday. We’ll also have a workday to continue building our personal section of our portfolios.
3) A friend of mine forwarded me this opportunity for my own 7th grade son. I wanted to share it — so if you are a 7th/8th grader, see conclusion of this blog entry for a really cool way to get volunteer hours (in lieu of stipend or stipend can be donated).
Have a great week! -JF
