SYLLABUS

Sometimes you will be expected to keep up with something, so you need to have some sort of storage device (folder, binder, etc..)  You are in high school, you should be responsible enough by now to keep up with a paper for 2 days. “I lost it” is not a valid excuse for missing work.  Please bring something for the pantry so that our money can be used for food to cook rather than class consumables.  Unopened 5lb. Bag of sugar  Liquid dishwashing soap  2 pack of paper towels  Kleenex  Hand sanitizer SUPPLIES
