Excellence!!!!! Notes from the Powerpoint

On Friday we read the rest of "A Message to Garcia" and took notes about excellence in the work place. Some kids got up and read and it was funny to see the pronunciations of the weird and big words. Last blog I read ahead on "A Message to Garcia" and related it to High school, so i mostly covered what we learned in class but here's the notes i took on the power point presentation.
