The End? For Now…

With our first quarter of school, and Humanities 12 over, I have mixed feelings. I am very excited to move onto new courses and learn new things, but on the other hand. I really dont want to say goodbye to all of my PLP people I have been with, although I do get to be […]

To coronavirus happening and canceling school […]
