Parents, please make sure that your student is keeping up with the writing of his/her twisted fairy tale. The revised handwritten draft of your student's story is due this Thursday. We are working VERY hard to finish them by this time, but they will need to be brought home occasionally throughout the week to have you help edit. If you have questions, please don't hesitate to call or write a note in the planner.
