New Beginnings

Earlier this year, I talked to English classes and welcomed them to the 2017-2018 school year. We discussed classes, lockers, social life at the Junior High, confidentiality, and many other things. During that talk, I shared some exciting news! I am getting married!  As a result, I will be out of the office from September 21st to September 26th. If you need immediate assistance while I am away, please contact Taylor Gerhardt or John Watkins at 419-884-2112. When I return I will be Mrs. Law! So do not be surprised when you see a different name on the door, or "Law" written on passes. I will still be here! Have a great week and I will be back September 27th!
