End Notes
I will grade your scrapbooks as quickly as
possible. We will schedule a day when you
can share them with the class. Once I have
the scrapbooks graded and passed back, you
must take it home. Any left at school will be
turned in to the office. If they have not been
claimed by the end of the summer, they will
be thrown away. Don’t let your hard work
and memories become trash.
Be responsible!
