Today's Monarch

Ok, so I’m proud. Meet a future reader!

In Mr. Heneghan’s class...

1. We have been reading about gender stereotypes and gender roles, and ultimately Hillary Rodham Clinton’s role as possibly the first strong female candidate for president for a major party. We have used a couple articles from the New York Times to explore this subject.
2. We sent home a scholarship opportunity for 8th graders called the Sr. Fracesca scholarship, offered by the Sisters of St. Francis in Oldenburg. This is a scholarship for black students planning on attending a Catholic high school. So far, I have received zero applications. I have a few extras if needed. Deadline is April 15.

In Mr. Carlstedt’s class...

1. Mr. Carlstedt will have extra credit available on his eClassroom over Spring Break.

2. He will be “going live” on his site this Sunday, not Saturday.

3. 6th and 8th grade have a test tomorrow.

4. 7th grade will wrap up Ch. 18 when they get back from break.
