Welcome to Project SEED 2015
Welcome to Project SEED 2015
I hope you are all enjoying your first few days. There are nine students in the project SEED program this year: 4 returning students and 5 new students.
Each student will write a daily blog post about what they did that day and what they will be doing the following day before leaving. However, for the first day write a short biography (where you are from, where you go to high school, and anything you would like us to know), your impression of the first two days of Project SEED, and what you are looking forward to in the project SEED program.
Please make sure to add your name to the post title and label so we can easily find your post.
