He will then critique the performance and make suggests to the students and directors to improve. Students will return to class by Pd. 4A. After the students return to class, Mr. Bott will meet with the Directors to further the discussion on improving the program.
The students should wear their Team T-Shirts all day Wednesday, March 23rd. (If they do not yet have this year's team t-shirt yet, they should wear a previous year's Team T-Shirt.) The students will be responsible for any missed work. They should see their Pd. 1, 2, & 3 teachers prior to Wednesday, March 23rd.
Looking forward to next Wednesday!
