Announcements and Reminders:                      There will be a dance this Friday, November 6th.   7th and 8th Grade Dance 2:45 - 4pm. Ms. Dorsey will no longer be doing intervention for Cavetime on Thursdays.  She will instead host the Mock Trial enrichment.                                                 On Friday, Ms. Dorsey will not be here for your class.  Ms. Ward will be taking over, so be on your VERY BEST behavior.  I just might feel like giving you some extra credit if her report about you is positive. Go directly to her classroom --  room 226, right across from the English Writing Lab (Computer Lab), next to Ms. Rees and across from Ms. Ralph.
