Activities for week six 10/7 - 10/11 - 2013

It is one thing to believe that you possess remarkable potential. It is another thing to have enough faith in yourself that you think you can fulfill it. Let's keep working together to tap into all you can be. Ms Davilla has seen good things from you and I hope to see much more. Please check your Aeries account and see if there is something you can still do to earn points, that also includes S.S.R. Reading points.
