21 Pre-Algebra II (Concrete):

Complete Test of Knowledge WS on solving 2-step equations (all problems)

We ended up with 34 turkeys and the weight of the food will be determined when I go to the food bank.  The students qualified for the house reward that we be rewarded on Wed., Nov 26th.  Mrs. See's homeroom brought in the most goods, and that class will receive an additional reward.  Great job.  8-10 of the 34 complete meals will actually be given to middle school families early next week.  The remaining food will be taken to the Westmoreland Co. book bank.  

Thank you for all your generous donations!!  Your compassion for your fellow families in the community allowed us to overcome the quote that I posed to the kids, "For evil to thrive, all good people have to do is nothing".
