Friday, February 28th ***Instead of the logistics of the assembly... International Video (In the planning stages) I am going to try to have the tv studio create a video highlighting some of our students who have lived in other countries and have a slideshow along with them. This way teachers can show it in class today or at their convenience. I am still not positive about this idea, but I will keep everyone posted with the progress. Please send me the names of any international students you have and what period you have them so I will be able to locate them. Thank you!
