and determination. 
Get Inspired!
- Colonia High School 2014-2015 Motto
1st Day Assignment--One the note card, write TWO things1.) One thing you hope to learn/gain from SENIOR
ENGLISH (the more specific, the better).
2.) One new adventure/goal that you would like to
accomplish senior year. Ex.) Go to the MET in NYC
The teacher will hold onto these note cards all semester, and give them back
to the students the last week of class. Get inspired to do new things,
accomplish goals, and make senior year worth it! Best of luck! 
