How to Write a Check

A lot of you had a difficult time writing a check today during our Naturalization Process. Here is a website that gives you one way to fill out a check. The nice thing about this site is that it gives you visual images to go with each description. Did you do it correctly??

Additional email address...

Here is my school GMAIL account address:

matthew_lawhead@southwesternsd.org

This is another option to send your projects in. I will put your PowerPoint projects into the Sharable Drive if you send it to me, but you must print out both Excel Sheets and the Map and HAND THEM TO ME.

Thanks.

How to email projects....

Some folks have been asking me about emailing projects. My school email is listed below:

matthew_lawhead@swsd.k12.pa.us

Hopefully it gets through the filters. If not, you MUST bring in your project via a thumbdrive or email it to your school Gmail account and save it to our Sharable Drive.

Thanks.

Nice Job Students!

The 29th Combat Aviation Brigade sent a HUGE "Thank You" to the Team 3 and Team 4 World Geography students who sent holiday cards to the soldiers serving in Afghanistan. The students in Mr. Sgrignoli and Mr. Lawhead's class made holiday cards at the end of our Southwest Asia Unit. They sent us a few wristbands, a plaque (picture to follow), and a commemorative coin. Just goes to show what that doing a nice deed does pay off. Thanks again for all the hard work and great cards you made for our brave soldiers!
