Mrs. Brindle is requiring that all students get a copy of Freak the Mighty so students can read it the first week of sixth grade. Students should not read it before school begins on August 15th.
I thank the students and parents for making this school year the best year ever in my teaching career.
I will miss you all.
Have a great summer!
