=Welcome to Philadelphia Futures High School Scholars 2010-2011!=


 * Dear Scholars, **
 * Welcome to our wiki! **


 * We will use this space as another classroom, a place where Scholars and teachers share, collaborate, and discuss work online. We will take turns posting and responding to work. We will hold each other to high standards as we post and respond to each other's work. This is a place for all of us to show who we are, use our creativity, and learn to read the word and the world through writing. **

Here is our contact information: gwinikur@philasd.org christina.puntel@gmail.com

I look forward to seeing what you write next, because... add 2 or 3 sentences explaining what will bring you back to see more about this person's thoughts.
