 In case you missed it from a previous post:
If you are interested in up to 50 extra credit points, you can watch a movie The Post to be shown in local theaters starting January 12.  You will need to turn in the ticket stub and write a one-page hand-written review about the background of the story, the results of the movie, and what kind of implications it has for government and politics in America's society today.  You will need to turn this in by February 1st.

An announcement from Mrs. Bartlett:
Attention AP Students,
If you will be taking an Ap exam this spring, you must stop by the library media center between January 29 and February 9 to indicate which exam(s) you will be taking and pay the $15 fee for ordering.  You will complete and sign a form indicating which exams you would like ordered for you.  This money is non-refundable, should you decide not to take the exam.  You MUSt pay between January 29 - February 9 for exams or they will NOT be ordered for you and you will be unable to take them at GHS. (Please do not try to come early.)  Again, that's $15 non-refundable for each exam, checks made out to Grafton High School, between January 29-February9.  if you are paying with cash, you will need exact change.

See Mrs. Bartlett in the LMC if you have any questions.

Last Hoorah before the AP GOV Exam!

This is the last hoorah before the AP American Government and Politics Exam.  You all have been preparing for this exam all year and I wish you the best tomorrow.  If you need any last-minute pointers, let me know and I'll give you advice. You will need to log on using your exam ticket at about 3:30 on Monday, May 11.  You will need to log into a demo exam to check and see if your device is compatible.  The exam will start at 4:00 p.m. and will ultimately be over by 4:50. I have posted a video to tell you all "Hoorah" and best wishes on the exam. I do not have any assignments for you this week.  But I hope you take the time to turn in some things and include your reply to the Flipgrid video .  I would like to see your face and hear your voice.
