Hello 9th grade, I am sorry I am still out. This week you will meet Mr. Smith who should be awesome and available for awhile until I get back. As many of you know, I am taking some time to care for my mother who is ill, my husband, who recently went into the hospital with a heart condition, and trying to take on most responsibilities at home. I miss you and care about you, but hope you will understand I need to take care of my family right now. I will be updating grades - I know many of you are waiting. Email me with questions or pass them on to Mr. Smith and I will get back to you. Work well, take care of your selves, have fun, but not too much fun....
