NO MEDIOCRITY – TOWARDS EXCELLENCE!!
Make
Christmas 2012 special for a child
Nuestro Pequeños Hermanos (NPH) is
an international organization that takes in abandoned and orphanged children,
providing a home and education. Here in
Honduras, the NPH organization provides for over 500 children in at large ranch
near La Venta and home in Tegucigalpa for severly handicapped children. While many children at the ranch have anuts,
uncles, or grandparents that come to visit them and can provide some Christmas gifts,
some children at a ranch have no family to visit. It is these children, whom we would like to
provide for this Christmas. On the
second floor of the secondary building, a NPH Giving Tree will be set up. Choose a paper tree that has a child’s
information about his/her size for shoes or socks. Purchase the new item and return it to Mrs.
Agurcia’s Room (Rm. 7) by Tuesday, December 4th, with the tree tag
taped to it. As well, there are tree
tags for basic food items that will be donated to the orphange. Cash donations will also be accepted to
provide shoes and socks for children whose trees were not selected. Thank you for giving this Christmas!

MAP TOOLKIT
Do you want to
improve your MAP scores? For math, look at
your RIT range by goal strand for Fall 2012 (Use the index card we made in
class). Use these numbers to select appropriate activities under each goal area.
For example, if your RIT range for Geometry is 175-190, you would go to the
click on the 171-180 and 181-190 links under Geometry and Measurement in order
for find activities at your level. Since Geometry and Measurement are grouped
together, you would be looking for geometry skills, such as shapes. Here is the
