Mrs. Svitak Week of 1/11 - 1/15
Published by Mrs. Svitak (8C) January 8th, 2010 in Announcements.Good luck to the 8th graders who are taking an entrance exam tomorrow. Remember what I told you, Do your best and let God do the rest! If you are reading this Saturday or Sunday, the test is over! Take a deep breath, you worked hard and gave it your best effort. Enjoy the weekend.
Back to work! We survived our first week in spite of a few snowy and cold days. The Smart Boards have provided us with new and entertaining math lessons and I am looking forward to learning all I can in order to share it with you. Thank you for being patient with me and assisting me along the way.

When the order arrived, 26 items were delivered. How many employees were working that evening?
