Halloween is over, the clocks have been turned back, and Friday is the end of term one! Term two starts next Monday and the roller coaster of days off begins. After this week there is not one complete five day week for the month of November--No school on Nov. 11; and half days on Nov. 18 and 25. Thanksgiving break starts on Nov. 25th. Make sure to stay on top of your work, it is so easy to get behind. REPORT CARDS will be distributed November 13th.

History: Finishing up World War I and II this week. There is a test coming! Make sure you fill out your study guide so that you have a reference sheet for the test. Last week for make-up work, and Current Events this term.
