End Notes I will grade your scrapbooks as quickly as possible. We will schedule a day when you can share them with the class. Once I have the scrapbooks graded and passed back, you must take it home. Any left at school will be turned in to the office. If they have not been claimed by the end of the summer, they will be thrown away. Don’t let your hard work and memories become trash. Be responsible!
