Due dates:
Your initial thesis statement is due on Monday, March 7th.
Rough draft at the start of class on Monday, March 14th. I extended this deadline because of the Science Fair but it means you won't receive much feedback on your drafts before the final is due on Wednesday.
Final copy on Wednesday, March 16 -- or before YOU leave for Spring Break, whichever comes first.

Thank you.

A note to 8th student and parents from Miriam Greenstein:

Would you please thank all of the students for their wonderful donation in my honor to the Holocaust Memorial and education fund.

I am thrilled to hear that they plan to use my speaking to their class as a tool to be proactive against hate and discrimination.

I wish them much success and happiness in the mission of hope and acceptance.

Again my sincere thanks to all and a warm hello.

Warmly,

Miriam Greenstein
