Greetings to the new 2010-2011 students
I am looking forward to meeting the new cluster and sharing my curiosity about current affairs and history with you. I hope you will enjoy visiting the 1700s and early 1800s with me and get used to keeping an ear and eye open for what is happening in the US and the world around us.
