Pictures From Our Last Day








Thank you, and be safe!

To my students,

Thank you for a wonderful class last Wednesday. Congratulations to Quwanna for Most Improved Reader and Jesus for Most Improved Writer. Congratulations to Jesus and Esther for Best Attendance. Also, praise to Quwanna, Jesus, and David for cycling out of our program into GED programs. Overall, I am proud of everyone for their dedication to our class and improvement!

We had another delicious feast, reflecting the generosity of our class members. I will have the photos up soon.

Remember if you are returning for the Fall Cycle, come to the library on 9/13 at 5pm with your score slip so you can reserve your spot in class.

Be safe during this hurricane-- hoping you find a safe place to go, as I know many of you live in the evacuation areas.
All my best to you, and please stay in touch!

Upcoming Dates to Remember

Hello everyone!

The cycle is winding down, and we only have two more classes left. I can't believe our class is almost over.

Wed. 8/16- Individual conferences with Karen to discuss your test scores and next steps
Mon. 8/22- No class
Wed. 8/24- Last class- Awards, certificates, dinner-- celebration for your hard work!

*If you were absent for any of our testing dates, you will take the test on Wed. 8/16.*

I am incredibly impressed by your dedication and progress- especially with regards to essay writing! I have seen you all improve so much in organizing your thoughts. With this kind of writing, I see you doing well on the essay portion of your future GED tests.

Thank you for being a great class. See you on Wednesday!
