Make it up!

Hey, if you need to make up an assignment or the quiz on Acts I and II of Macbeth, here's your chance! Just memorize one of the speeches from the play on the link below-- perfectly-- recite it to Mrs. Eddy and I will change your grade on the quiz to a B+ grade. Great opportunity to get some Shakespeare in your mind and help your grade at the same time--win-win-- which is more than I can say for Macbeth!

Student Paths

Three Steps to Life After High School:
Here is a site associated with a grant form Western Oregon University and designed to find out what students like you are interested in as far as opportunities after high school. Colleges really want to know what you want so that they can offer it to you. Your information will not be used for marketing or other nefarious purposes, and the site really does offer a lot of great information from students like yourself as well as links to university and scholarship sites.
