 * ANNOUNCEMENT:** Wednesdays after school I will be conducting sessions on study tips and tricks. I plan on discussing how to skim and scan a text successfully, how to take meaningful notes, how to effectively outline, as well as discussing effective writing strategies. I will take suggestions from students as to what will serve them well. I encourage all to attend and will require some students to specifically attend. Bring your own snack but we will be getting right to work!
