8B Homeroom

*I would like to say a HUGE THANK YOU to all of you who have contributed to our class wish list. Your generosity is greatly appreciated!

*I would like to remind students to bring in a can of clorox wipes to be kept in their desk for wiping down their desks twice a day. We want to make sure everyone stays healthy!

*The 8th grade Wreath Project was a great success. Thank you for all of your support. The wreaths turned out beautifully. Ten of them were sold before they ever left campus. The rest will be taken and sold at the Tempe Town Lake Light Up a Luminaria. All proceeds benefit NPH. If you haven't brought in your donation yet, it would be greatly appreciated.
