October 27 - And that's a wrap...on Q1
Thank you for your ideas, effort, and inspiration during this first quarter of the school year. We've had a strong start, evident in the quality of student work, the general positive and productive student body, and the broad feeling that PA feels safe & welcome. Good luck with grading and your other work. And, thanks in advance to all the folks helping with the Haunted High, especially Reeves, Dan, and Courtney. It should be fun and scary.

It is focused on schoolwide goals, but I think you can also connect the concepts to your individual work if you read it through the lends of your perosnal goal.__________________________________________________________
