  2. Mrs. Tate (and all concerned) :
    You do not need to purchase the Elements of Literture book, the school lends those textbooks to the students, they will be receiving their books this week.

  3. Hi Mr. Dixon,my name is Carlos.I really want to learn more english so when I go to Florida or any part of USA I can talk a lot of english with people in there. My goals is to have really good notes ,and to be a very good student.I am very anxious and nervous.Anxious because I want to learn new things like Life Science,Biology, chemistry,and other things like Reading, speaking,and writting for understand more things when I read a book or anything, and nervous because I don't know what will happen ahead in classes like if the teachers are good or brave.
    When I grow I want to be a Doctor.I will want to be in a better level but I can't so next year I will try to be in a better level.
    i'm Carlos Brito and I am in North Carolina
    I only wish to you is success in the year
