The dates for state testing are below:
ELA II - March 28th and 29th
Algebra I - April 18th and 19th
Geometry - April 18th and 19th
Biology - April 25th

Granville Library Announcements
Your copy should address 3 key questions: Who am I writing for? (Audience) Why should they care? (Benefit) What do I want them to do here? (Call-to-Action)
Create a great offer by adding words like "free" "personalized" "complimentary" or "customized." A sense of urgency often helps readers take an action, so think about inserting phrases like "for a limited time only" or "only 7 remaining"!
