			Make someone's day! Val-Grams are coming! Great for your friends, crushes, brothers, sisters, parent(s) / guardian(s), teachers, office staff, custodians, etc.! What are Val-Grams? Val-Grams are valentines (better than the boxed kind in stores) that you can buy from the Spanish Club. We deliver them (at school) to the people you buy them for ...and they can be anonymous if you wish. They are super fun and nice surprise! Sale starts Tuesday, January 22nd from12:15-12:55 in the cafeteria. They will be on sale during lunch from 12:15-12:55 every day through February 12th. We will be handing them out Wednesday, Feb. 13th & Thursday Feb. 14th. Regular Val-Grams are only 50 cents, and fancy ones with a balloon start at $3.00.
			Don't foget about the... 30 hour credit project requirement! Remember, in order to earn a credit in Spanish, you must complete a 30-hour credit project (above & beyond homework & time sheets) that extends your learning about Spanish / Spanish-speaking culture outside of the classroom. You will now be asked to turn in your credit project hours (yellow paper with squares on it) every Wed./Thursday along with your time sheet. If you haven't started, working on it during the break is a GREAT idea! Due: End of May

	02/07	=	Deadline to get your grade up to or above 80% and your required number of pesos in.

There are no actual grades given to students-all transcripts read either P or F. However, if grades are important to you, you can calculate your grade as follows: divide Pts. Rec’d by Pts worth to get a percentage. Round to the nearest whole number. 98-100% = A+ 93-97 = A 90-92 = A- 88-89 = B+ 83-87 = B 80-82 = B- (80%=lowest passing score).
