Woohoo!!! Your year has finally arrived! I am so excited about this school year. I have very high expectations for each of you, and I know that with a positive attitude and endurance, you ALL will be successful. I know you are counting down the days til graduation, but I need you to remember that it is not over yet. You still have courses to complete before you can be an official part of that glorious day. It is too early for Senioritis to kick-in. Trust me, if you come to school already experiencing Senioritis, your time in Senior English will not be fun. I want us to have a great educational year, so come ready! I am :-)</span><br />
