Thanks to the work of Ms. Koch and Ms. Clark, we welcomed speakers from the Best Buddies organization today.  We had the majority of the school sign a large banner:  "Wipe out the R word" that will hang as a reminder of how to support our collective human dignity.

Have a great long weekend.

Mr. D.

Grade 7 MCAS--ELA Long Composition on 3/25/13!  We'll do great!
