Juniors: Mrs. Larragoiti to Visit on Friday
Attention all Juniors: Mrs. Larragoiti will be visiting our classroom on Friday, February 3rd to help you interpret your PSAT/NMSQT scores, to answer any questions you may have, and to provide suggestions about how to utilize this information to enhance your SAT scores in the future.
Mrs. Larragoiti will utilize a PowerPoint presentation to help clarify the information she will be presenting.
In order for this time to be productive for you, it is important that you bring your "PSAT/NMSQT Score Report Plus" to class on Friday. Without this information, Mrs. Larragoiti will be unable to assist you.
Freshmen: "Introduction to Catholicism"
In January 1959, much to the surprise of the cardinals who had elected him, Pope John XXIII announced that he would convene the Second Vatican Council. This Council, more commonly referred to as Vatican II, was the 21st ecumenical Council of the Catholic Church.
We will spend the next couple of days talking about why the Council was held and how the Council changed the Catholic Church.
