Summer 2011

Dear SALTA Students

SCHOOL’S OUT FOR SUMMER!!!! But not out forever… soooo we’re writing to you on this glorious day to outline your summertime fun for SALTA next year. Make sure you check out the assignments on the Summer Assignment link. It shouldn't be too bad; your brain will like the work even if you don't.

Hey, you sevies!!! (That’s //Middle School// for, “Hello, Seventh Grade Students.”) Tired of one teacher all day? Hey, you now have five teachers to bore teach you (although rumor has it we’re not as boring as we try to be). And then guess what? The next day some of your teachers will be different! Yup, That's right! You will be starting out on our BRAND spanking new block schedule. Won't that be fun?!
 * 7th Grade **

So, you’re probably sitting at home right now talking to your new friend Mr. Sock, and his sock dog Stinky. Bored? We have the solution!! Check out the linked summer assignments, and start rockin’, not sockin’, through your summer today! We’re looking forward to seeing you in the fall. We can’t wait to meet you and help you get adjusted to middle school life.


 * 8th Grade **

// (To be sung to “Henry V111”) “You’re entering 8th you are, you’re entering the 8th you are, you are. // Too young to remember that song? Well, hey, you must be thirteen (we know it, but we’re old and laughing as we type this- OK moving on…). Still have that old backpack from last year? Newsflash: those assignments you found? THEY’RE LATE!! Muhwahahahah!!! Ready to come back now? Remember, we turn in our assignments to the basket… on time… with your name on it… in the right class… during the right quarter. But for now, here are some invigorating summer projects just for you, and you don’t even need the backpack, unless you’re doing the science project. (No, the moldy sandwich from last year won’t count for the summer science assignment). Review the summer assignment list, and start this year on the right foot (preferably your own).


 * 9th Grade **

// “Ode (owed) to the NINE” //

A stitch in time often saves nine And here’s some fun things to do. We know you have this summer time, So we created these things just for you.

Success is yours if you but try, This list is tons of fun. If you work really hard your grades will be high. We hope you’re the ambitious one.

Because we care, here’s some warnings for you. Run with sticks, and you’ll put out an eye. No sunblock’s a bad thing to do. An umbrella won’t help you to fly.

Ignoring this list is dangerous, To both educational and physical well-being so be really careful and don’t, like, get hurt this summer because we really want to see you again and we’d miss you terribly and feel rul bad cuz we like you and stuff all like that.

It’s sad, but true, that’s the end of our ode We’ve had fun and we hope you agree, If you can write a poem that’s better than this. Good.

Good luck to all and may the farce be with you always.

Most Sincerely (and seriously), Your SALTA Teachers
