Attention Sixth Graders, Attention Sixth Graders! Very soon you will be asked to choose your electives for next year. Chances are that you don’t know as much as you’d like about your choices. That’s why we’re holding an ELECTIVE ADVISORY during lunch TODAY so you can ask several WEB Leaders about classes that are available. They can also help clarify which classes meet twice a week and which meet four times a week. Don’t be shy and come on by. Again, that’s a 6^th Grade Elective Advisory TODAY at lunch in the 6^th grade amphitheater. 

Greetings Mathletes! Friends + math = fun! Bring your lunch to Ms. Ferreira’s room 33 TODAY!
