Parents, 

Students received their autobiography requirements this week. Please be attentive to the writing of these paragraphs as your children will need help in knowing what to include for the younger years. They will also need some type of book to enclose the written pages. Photo album types are fine. They have written requirements for the project. Please ask them about it and help them to get started. We will be writing in class next week as well. Thank you.
