Welcome!

This blog was created by Mr. Jolicoeur and Mr. Bujold to help communicate more effectively with students and parents this year in Comprehensive American Studies II. We will be blogging daily with the class agenda, links to assignments, and links to interesting and informative topics that we see on the internet.

AMERICA!
