Final thoughts

Final grades have been sent to counseling and to edline. I hope you have an excellent summer and come back refreshed for your senior year.

One final exam note--Freedom Summer had nothing to do with the hippies and the Summer of Love in 1967. That cost several of you ten points on your final exam.

Anyhoo, that's it from my end. Feel free to post comments here throughout the summer.

Have fun!
