Period 1, 2, 4, 6, 7: Finish 5-3 will go over tomorrow. Finish 5-5 for day come back from holidays.
Period 5: Attended Renaissance Fair during 5th period.

The PE department with the help of Southern Oaks Middle School students raised $1,162.50 for the American Heart Association.
That is a tremendous achievement that will do a great deal of good to help people and be put to work to prevent disease.
Thanks to the two Coach Mathews and all the others who supported this effort.
