The eighth grade has been busy learning how to organize their rules and regulations, and students have worked hard to create an official Constitution for their class. These are all the rules, subject to the school handbook, that exist in our classroom.
Everyone did a fantastic job creating and organizing this Constitution; ratification took place today. You should all be very proud!
