Dear Students,
You are capable, brilliant, and courageous. This class is a safe-space where you can be yourself, share how you feel, and be free to make mistakes. In this classroom, we will learn, grow, and screw-up together. I look forward to learning more about each and every one of you as we dive into the school year!

those who worship it.
There are those who
fear it. And there are
those who have
vowed to destroy it.
In the Valley of the
Time Tombs, where
huge, brooding
structures move
backward through
time, the Shrike waits
for them all."

are hidden. Montag

destruction and ruin
his actions produce,

Mildred, who spends
all day with her
television 'family.'
But when he meets an
eccentric young
neighbor, Montag
begins to question
everything he has
ever known."
