Parents & team members!!

Berry Middle School does not have a 6th grade Scholars’ Bowl team. For this reason, we will not play a match against another team tomorrow, we will just practice betweeen ourselves until 4:15/4:30pm. Come to my classroom tomorrow, Tuesday, on the 2nd bell and we will set up and get ready to practice. Parents, please be on hand by 4:15pm in case we finish up early!!
