8th grade Pre-Algebra students have been adding and subtracting integers. We ended the week with a football activity, which is a great way to make integers more relatable to our students!

Reminder: Please join us for the Cuming County College and Military Fair at the Nielsen Center on August 31st from 6-8:30. There will be a breakout session with EducationQuest on FAFSA and the Financial Aid process at 7:00.
