Wow! A facebook just for us!

Anyhow...I received some positive feedback on the first day of the 7th grade TeamWorks Program from Kristin and Claudia. Next week, Rhonda, Jason, Brad and Jane will teach a theme from this team building curriculum. Lisa will join in and assist in some of the discussion with the classes as she learns more about our newest bulldogs. If anyone is curious, you can find the curriculum on the thinkquest web sight sponsored by Oracle.
