Sixth graders, remember the Peanuts cartoons where Lucy sets up an advice booth for Charlie Brown?  This week we are doing something similar for giving advice about electives. This week you and seventh graders are figuring out what  electives to choose for next year.  For many of you it’s an easy and obvious choice. Others may be wondering what those classes are really like.  Tomorrow, Tuesday, at lunch a few wise and ancient WEB leaders will be available to answer your questions and give you information about the electives they’ve taken.  Come on out to the Advice Tables to find out more.  

WEB Leaders, if you still want to participate in this event be sure to see the email or notice posted on the WEB wall and let Mr. Schulman know as soon as possible
