Our First Intersession Meeting

Today we will be meeting for the first real time. We have to talk about a lot of things. First things first, we need $$$. In order to buy the supplies we need, we'll need some money. If everyone can bring in $50, we'll be good to go! Today we'll be taking a math test....the Home Depot Pre-Employment Math Test. It consists of basic math, not higher than a 6th grade level. YOU BETTER PASS IT!!!

I'm so excited to have Mr. Anthony in the classroom with us as well as Larry Rosenstock helping out with cutting and other things! It's going to be the intersession of the century! You all will be doing a great thing for the community, I hope you know and understand that!

See Ya'll at 2:30!
