Next week, March 11 - 15, is Adult Education week.

We will celebrate Adult Education.

We will celebrate the great things at our school.

We will have an essay contest.

What's an essay?

It's some writing.  You write about something.  The "something" is called the "topic."

The topic of this essay is, "How Has San Mateo Adult School Helped You?"

Here are the guidelines:

1.  There are 2 levels - low and high.  Your teacher will tell you which level you are in.

2.  The essay can be from 1 to 2 pages.

4.  Deadline:  Tuesday, March 12

The "judges" are Tim Doyle, Michele Costello, and myself - Teacher Cynthia.


Next year, we will do a better job planning for this with a little more time for everone.

This year, we are a working a little fast.
