Wall Quotes
Again this June, a new quote shall be chosen to be painted on the classroom wall. All student submissions will be considered and the winning quote will adorn the wall in our classroom. The winner of the quote submission contest shall also have his/her name immortalized on the wall. Good luck and submit as many times as you wish. Last year’s winning quote from William Shakespeare (submitted by Shauna-Lee Regular):
