I went into Laurier yesterday and organized your desks for you. Today you will all be able to pick up your personal belongings, notebooks, a few text books and a school novel for NOVEL APPROACH book clubs which we will start soon. There will be 2 families per time slot window to pick up your materials. I will bring your things outside and put it in the undercover area. Social distancing will be respected! Be sure to have your parents bring a bag. |
These students still need to sign-up: Jordan, Emily H, Ella, Mireya, William

When you are finished, fold the letter nicely, put it in envelope (I will include an envelope with your pick up package tomorrow), seal it, write your full name and email address on it. When this is complete take a picture of the envelope and upload it to fresh grade as evidence that the activity is complete.
By the end of the year you must turn this envelope in to me. I will keep the envelope for you until you graduate from high school. In five years, when you graduate, come to see me and I will give you your envelope. If you do not come, I will email to the address on the envelope and remind you.
