November

The college fair trip was a success! We went to the convention center, talked to representatives from many colleges, and picked up their materials. Afterwards, we had ice cream. We'll plan more trips throughout the year.

November is heavy on evaluation. Many seniors just took the SAT this past Saturday. On Wednesday and Thursday, there will be subject benchmark tests, and report cards for the first marking period will be distributed in a couple of weeks. It can be a stressful time for students, so we try to lighten the mood in different ways, such as making beads during Art Club, hosting student parties, and putting magnetic poetry on the walls.
