I won't be here today due to my attendance at a workshop for depression/suicide. In light of recent events here at BHS, I am very interested in finding out all I can to help our young people navigate the treacherous terrain of adolescence. Please be kind to your substitute.

AP Literature: Macbeth Act IV quiz; the famous Molly J. run from the classroom in first period; pre-reading of Act V.

Gifted English IV: Most of the plan for today involves your participation in the Senior Panoramic Photo at the stadium, plus answering some brief questions about the battle between Grendel and Beowulf.

Gifted English II: Vocabulary quiz, and work on the Antigone essays that are due next Tuesday. These aren't really essays of any substantial length, but each should be concise, well-considered, and reflective of careful reading.
