This is a program for eligible 10th, 11th, and 12th graders for NEXT YEAR to gain college credit AT a near by college.

This meeting is mandatory for students who wish to participate beginning next fall. Parents are strongly encouraged to join their student as there is MUCH important information shared at this meeting. Parents cannot attend for their student.

BHS to Present Little Women
Burnsville High School junior Victoria Jacobson leads the cast in the role of Jo March, who is growing up with her sisters Meg (junior Cori Dawson), Beth (sophomore Allie Stuart), and Amy (junior Sara Russell) during the Civil War. They strive to be brave, intelligent and imaginative young women. But as adulthood approaches, each sister must negotiate her private ambitions with society’s expectations.
While the characters may be familiar to readers of all generations, Hamill’s adaptation reveals that the March sisters still have plenty to say to 21st century fans of the classic coming-of-age novel.
What? Little Women

Teachers will post an assignment on Schoology for each class. Each class will have one assignment posted and attendance will be taken for each class based on completion of that assignment.
Advisory will take place today from 9-10am.
Students should use the advisory link they use each day. Please note that advisory is at a different time today and will be the only live session today.
Teachers will also be available throughout the day via Schoology and e-mail to assist students and answer questions.
