From Nov. 18-22, we celebrate American Education Week when we give thanks for everyone who comes together to help students learn.
If you haven’t already written a thank you note to one or more of your teachers, you can still do so.
PEER has handed out cards to your homeroom teachers and will collect them at the end of the block.
