“Once upon a midnight dreary

While I pondered, weak and weary,

Over many a quaint and curious volume

Of forgotten lore –

While I nodded, nearly napping,

Suddenly there came a tapping

As if someone gently rapping, rapping

At my chamber door.”

Happy Halloween Students!

The costume contest will be held outside the gym in the 8^th grade lunch area TODAY. See you there!!!
