English Festival

 
This is my sixth year as co-moderator of English Festival.  

Mrs. Zutter and I will work with English Festival participants after school 
on Wednesdays from 3:00 p.m. to 4:00 p.m. in the Library.  Everyone will be 
dismissed into the back parking lot.


Great news!  The books are in, so our first meeting will be October 15th.


English Festival Competition Date: May 22, 2009 at Seton-La Salle High School
