Welcome, Spring Semester Scholars!

Well, we are ready to kick off not only a new semester, but your LAST semester of high school!!! That has to feel really good. :) Be sure and notice the countdown clock on the main page of the blog... it won't be long now!  This first week we will do housekeeping type stuff then ease into Unit 1, The Hero.
