In Preparation for Conference

We will have a work day today, and the 19th. On the 23rd, and 24th we will spend
around ten minutes presenting in groups of three to fellow classmates.

Today I will be teaching you how to write a letter.

I will be doing check points on each of these days to review your work and help you
with anything you need.

Students should wear business casual. Not acceptable; jeans, anything with holes,
crop tops, tank tops, anything skinny, tennis shoes, sweatshirts, sweats…
