School Supply Drive & Twitter Update

We have had a great week so far, and I am anticipating a great semester for us all. Please make sure this weekend that you get your school supplies, if you have not already done so (please refer to your course page for the specific list for your class). As you are buying supplies for your student, please consider participating in the Social Studies Department's School Supply Drive. During the first five days of school, Social Studies teachers are collecting basic school supplies to donate to the guidance office who have and will identify students here at Leesville who are unable to buy school supplies on their own. Requested items are:

• backpacks
• notebook paper
• pens
• pencils
• colored pencils
• composition notebooks
• spiral notebooks
• 3-ring binders
• graph paper
• highlighters
• planners/organizers
• pocket folders
• *anything else students might find useful*

Any help you can provide would be greatly appreciate and will help a less fortunate student start their school year off right.

New to the course home pages, I have added a feed directly from the twitter page for each course. What this means is that the homework is posted directly on the website, you do not have to go to twitter to find it (however, you may still access it via twitter)! I am very excited about this update!

Have a great weekend!

Open House

Thank you to all the parents who were able to attend Open House last night at Leesville. It is always nice to get at least a moment to meet and see the parents. For those of you who were unable to attend know that you were missed but can still keep up with what we did. Head over to your stduent's course page (World History or Civics and Economics) and in the "Handouts" section click on the "Course Overview" correct period for your student and flip through the PowerPoint presentation. It includes information on School Supplies, Contact Information, Scope of the Course, and brief bit of information regarding keeping up with what is going on in the course.

I am looking forward to seeing all the students this Wednesday and beginning our adventure in Social Studies. I am anticipating a good semester and year, with your help as well! So enjoy this weekend and get plenty of rest leading up to the first day of school next week, Wednesday, August 25!

Mr. C
