8th Graders,
Did you have a nice break? I did, I needed a little time off to re-charge. Anyway, did you check Pinnacle? I have updated most of your grades. Deficiency notices will be sent this week, so please see me on Monday/Tuesday if you have concerns about your grade.
WEEK RECAP....
The entire week was practically rained out. Not much happened. You did not have a run or fitness day and a lot of dodgeball. Anyway, I am looking forward to some nice weather and start Track and Field.

ARTICLE OF THE WEEK (AOW)
This week's article is titled, "Are there any healthy fats?" Sometimes I feel as though there is a lot of pressure to eliminate fats from our diet and that all of them are bad. Read this article and you will be surprised to find that there are actually some good fats and they need to be included in your diet. Do you agree or disagree? Complete the extra assignment and you will have the chance to explain. I have a good extra credit assignment related to your AOW, check it out HERE.
