Welcome to the start of a new school year! I’m very excited to be teaching 7^th & 8^th grade American history again this year. I hope that our year will bring outstanding achievement in academics, in community spirit, and in affirming our faith in God. In these unprecedented times, let us continue to pray for one another as we meet the joys and the challenges of this new beginning!
