extra credit offer

As you know, I don't offer extra credit very often, but the Pow Wow that Mr. Scholl talked about at the end of the day is worth it.  The Morning Star Celebration is one of the biggest Pow Wows on the east coast.  Native Americans from all over the country come to our school to dance, play music, offer incredible crafts for sale, and celebrate Indian culture.  There is terrific food available (I'll be picking up my supply of buffalo meat and jerky) and loads of cool gift ideas.  You will be absolutely amazed at how the John Carroll gym is transformed into a Native American dance and drum fest, and our lobby becomes a  fantastic marketplace.  And the Grand Enrty - which you can watch OR participate in - is the coolest thing ever.  Make sure you're here at 1:00 for that.
That's Mr Scholl, a highly-respected member of the Native American community, on the left.


To receive 10 points extra credit, email me a picture of yourself at the Pow Wow.  Make it easy on me - include your name and the names of any other people in the photo.  I absolutely guarantee you will be glad you came - and not just because of the EC.


It costs two bucks (suggested) for you to get in, and the money goes to the St Labre Indian School in Montana - a very worthy cause!  Deets here.

Hope to see you there Saturday!
