Blog for the week of November 8th to the 12th

Howdy Partners!



Another short week, DON’T forget you have NO school this Thursday due to Veterans Day! I have had the privilege of traveling to many different countries.. But I have to say.. That there is NO place like being home, the freedoms and choices that we can make on a daily basis are possible because men and women sacrificed their lives so that we might live the way we do... I will never take that for granted... I hope that through this weeks Blog Question that you will learn something about our country that you did not know before!


REMEMBER THE BLOOOOOOOG!!!You still have a blog to turn in by Friday!!
