Binder Check on Wednesday
Please bring all bellringers and GLE worksheets assigned in January for a binder check. See the Weekly Previews posted on this blog for the assignments.
The Costume
Please be creative and original with your costume. Remember that the look we want is "float-rider" not "formal ball." ABOVE ALL COMPLY WITH THE CMM AND CPSB DRESS CODE. Some students have asked about wearing athletic shorts or other items that do not comply with the dress code. You do not have permission to violate the dress code in any way. If you violate the dress code you may spend Mardi Gras in the office and lose credit for the costume.
