Wearing our RED, WHITE, and BLUE

Parents, CNN Student News is a 10 minute commercial-free news broadcast made for students, but personally I watch it daily to catch up on the current events of our nation and world.  
I recommend watching it, especially today's beginning segment about Sept. 11.  
(Note - they do archive the daily newscast, so you can watch older videos if you miss a day)

Student Council

STUDENT COUNCIL!      

It’s time to elect our classroom representatives for student council.  

This election is not a popularity contest, and students should only run if they are ready to work hard and attend all meetings as well as participate in all activities decided by student council. 

Class campaigns are during the week of Sept. 16-20. 

If you are interested in running, get more details from Miss Liefer.
