Attention Life Science Students/Parents...
I am rescheduling the Life Science quiz/test to Monday, January 21st. I feel that a test/quiz this Friday will be rushed, and I want to see them do well and be sure they have a solid understanding of the material behind the test. Therefore, we will spend today (Thursday) and tomorrow reviewing and preparing for Monday's test..... :)

Welcome Back!!!
Hey everyone!!
Well Christmas Break has officially come to an end, and that can only mean one thing ..... SCHOOL!!! I hope you had a fantastic break, and got some much-needed R & R. As for me, I had a very relaxing break, other than getting the stomach flu for part of it!! At any rate, I'm very excited about this semester, and I hope you are too! There are so many activities and topics to cover this semester, it's going to be a roller-coaster ride to May. Let's get it started with some amazing scientifical facts (is that even a word??).....!!
