- Can you believe we’ve been in school for an entire month — and incredibly, we’re just about halfway through the first quarter! Teachers will be posting mid-term grades next MONDAY, October 4th for all students. That means if you’ve got any missing assignments or make-up work to do — it’s now or never. So be sure to check Canvas and StudentVue, and contact your classroom teachers with any questions about your grade. Get it done, Wolves!!

Way to go, soccer wolves!! [clap]

- And finally today, this is Banned Books Week — which celebrates our FREEDOM TO READ, and raises awareness about the many books, essays, and publications that face censorship in schools and libraries around the country.
.
“Tom Sawyer”, “The Diary of Anne Frank”, a children’s book about Rosa Parks,“Harry Potter”, “The Hunger Games”, and dozens of other titles are being pulled from the shelves. But Banned Books Week is our chance say — no more. And now, stay tuned for award-winning author Jason Reynolds — the honorary Chair of Banned Books Week.
