7 Days of PSSA

• Today and tomorrow we are distributing flags, homerooms, and game equipment.


• Please distribute all students index cards to them in your regular homeroom. This will have their Mathletics homeroom on them. They will convene before the assembly Friday in their homeroom to do their brackets.


• The secretaries worked extremely hard today getting together the Mathletics homerooms and schedules.
  
  The number seven is magical and mysterious number:
