Your first day of school as a 7th Grader at Stout Middle School is fast approaching!  Rest assured that your teachers are already here, preparing for your arrival next Tuesday.  In preparation for the BIG DAY, start going to bed and getting up at the times you will during the school year so that your body can adjust to the new schedule.  Keep reading (as I KNOW you have been all summer long)!  If you’re anxious to go shopping for new stuff for school, you can pick up some school supplies.  Suggested supplies for our English class are:

* a 3-ring binder (1″ or 1 1/2″)

* Five divider tabs

* Pencils and BLUE ink pens (While they’re on sale, pick up enough to last you through the year.)

If your family is unable to provide these items, please let me know and we will make arrangements to help you obtain them.

I am REALLY looking forward to another GREAT year at Stout!  I hope you are too!

See you on Tuesday, September 3rd!  (Now go outside and enjoy the warm, summer weather!)
