Merry Christmas

To all those who celebrate, I'd like to wish a very Merry Christmas to each of you.  I hope you find a little time to relax with the family and to let them know how much they mean to you.  Merry Christmas to all!

When I woke up this morning, I saw Santa sitting on my fireplace and I caught a picture of him :)

Winter Break and Extra Credit

Happy Winter Break!  While these last few weeks have been challenging with everything going on, I have never been more proud to be a part of Oswego School District and more importantly, Lakewood Creek.  Thank you all very much for the extra kind words the last few weeks.  I would also like to thank all those parents who were able to contribute to the Character Counts project of sending gifts to less fortunate children.  I know the students were so excited to know they could help! 

Each student received a sheet on Thursday showing some extra credit opportunities over break.  I also told the students I'd put a couple "easier" links here so they wouldn't have to seach back into other posts.  Here's some quick links:

1.  X Grand Prix (Racing game):
