Cake Website

Here is the website where if students got an answer right on our French Revolution trivia game, they were able to swing against Marie Antoinette.

Veterans Day Ribbons

Today students are hanging their veterans day ribbons up along the cafeteria wall. There will be almost 5,000 soldiers that have died in Iraq and Afghanistan hanging on the wall with their name, age, hometown, and rank. The students have taken alot of pride in their work and it is very impressive.

We are also looking at the French Revolution and little bit today as well.

Have a good one!
