If I have heard it once, I’ve heard it a thousand times…
Mr. Conte, you don’t give us enough work. Please, please, please give us more great opportunities to do work for school.
I don’t like to disappoint people, so it brings me great joy to announce the official start to our 2011-2012 Independent Projects.
Independent Projects are your chance to earn booster points in Social Studies and Science. These extra points will be awarded after you have completed a project and can provide proof of your work.
