What is on the menu?

Well...after 4 weeks of meeting new faces, adjusting to the layout of the new building (who would have thought that would take awhile) and gearing up for the MEAP test (AYP pressure there), I am trying to brainstorm how to best help my fellow teachers. I decided there were a lot of choices...like going out to eat and browsing through the menu. It only made sense then to offer a menu of choices...so here is the menu. Like all fabulous restaurants, it is subject to change and feedback to the chef is always welcome! Happy reading...
