September is Family Blogging Month!

September is Family Blogging Month. The College is encouraging families to get involved in their child's class blog by reading and commenting on posts added by class teachers. We have been encouraging the students to leave quality comments. That is, comments which are written in well-constructed sentences that encourage others who view the blog to comment also. Our goal is to initiate a thoughtful, intellectual conversation on our areas of study.
Why not sit with your child and comment on any of our posts today!
