Happy Monday!

Welcome back!

Hello, all!

Welcome back to a new school year and a fresh start. The theme for this year in room 301 comes from Luke 12:48: "Everyone to whom much was given, of him much will be required . . ." I invite you to accept this challenge with me as we raise the bar on our conduct, academic effort, and devotion to Christ. It's going to be a great year and I'm so glad to have you all as part of it!

Happy New Year,
Mrs. Berg

weekend homework resources :)

Seniors: A Tale of Two Cities in case you forgot yours to study from [or you didn't read it yet] :) if you need help reviewing, I recommend Schmoop rather than Sparknotes, as they actually know what they're talking about :)

Freshmen: To Kill a Mockingbird in case you forgot yours - read through chapter 27 by Monday!

Sophomores: this is the search engine we've been using for your literary criticism articles [click on EBSCOhost].

Juniors: outline OR rough draft is due Monday!

Love,
Mrs. Berg
