Summer thoughts

Hello to anyone out there in Cyberspace who might be reading the blog. Hope you are enjoying the summer weather. However, 102 degrees it a bit much for me. Thank goodness for central air conditioning.

Okay, please feel free to continue posting stuff here if you like. If you take any trips this summer, post comments about your experiences here.

New Look!

Greetings Students! I hope you enjoy the blog's sleek new look. Hope your summer vacation is still going well!

Peace.

ALL STUDENTS!

Dear Students,

This has been a great year. A long year. A hard year. I am T-I-R-E-D! Perhaps it's because I woke up at 5 am b/c my nose was filled with lots of mucus. Or it's because I took a Tylenol allergy pill that's make me feel really, really groggy. Anyhoo, I hope y'all enjoyed US History and Psychology respectively.

Please don't hesitate to post comments here during the summer. I will respond to all of them.

I hope all of my juniors come back to THS with all of their fingers and toes. Stay safe people.

Mr. Carlisle
