Welcome back!

Welcome back to school, everyone! I've received several emails asking for this year's required materials, so I thought I would post the list on here:

loose leaf paper
highlighters

There will be binder checks this year. No binder, no grade.

Please let me know if you have any questions! I can be reached by email at hfrank@northschuylkill.net.
