I know, I know..."welcome back to school" is not your favorite phrase to hear, but hopefully you have gotten off to a good start for the new school year! I'm looking forward to having a great year. All Classes= Your first assignment is to take your syllabus home, share it with your parent/guardian, have them sign it, and bring the signed syllabus back to class. Also be sure to get logged on to School Loop this week! Here is the first "fun photo" of the year. I took this picture in August (no editing has been done to the photo), can you guess what was going on and where this was taken?
