If your teachers seem especially giddy today, that would be because today is the first payday. Many teachers do not have paychecks distributed over the summer, so some of us haven't seen an augmentation to our minor ducats since the end of May. It is truly a joyous day.

AP Literature and Composition: Our first multiple choice practice session! Bring a pencil and that open mind, and I will give you the reading passages and limited-edition scantron sheets. What a great opportunity to dip a toe into the AP well!

Gifted English II: Author of the Day: Jane Austen. Your revised Willy Loman/Mersault drafts are due by 3 p.m. today--TYPED and DOUBLE-SPACED. Today, we will go over the literary terms from 21-40--pay attention to the examples! If we have time I'd like to introduce the literature of Saki.
