General Announcements

We will have 20 teachers from Shanghai, China visiting our school on Friday. These are teachers currently studying at DU through the Center for China United States Cooperation. They will be visiting selected classes during 3^rd hour on Friday, November 16, and in the Drama Room during 4^th hour. Our visitors will be hosted by staff members and students. The program, founded by the University of Denver Graduate School of International Studies, serves as a bridge in a search for mutual understanding, the development of prudent policies, and the positive resolution of disputes between Chinese people and American people. Thank you for your support, we look forward to their visit.

Important reminder to all students: Next Tuesday, NOVEMBER 20, 2007, we will be on a Thursday schedule rather than a Tuesday. Please go to your Thursday classes next Tuesday.
