Works of Mercy Deadline: Wednesday, December 11
The first semester Works of Mercy deadline is Wednesday, December 11. At least three projects of the five project requirement must be turned in by this date. Remember, this is the LAST day to turn in projects -- we highly encourage students to go ahead and turn in projects if they have already completed them. Don't wait! As well, if a student happens to be absent the day of the turn-in, they must make arrangements to turn projects in beforehand, or scan their projects in via e-mail. If students fail to have at least three projects in by this deadline, they will not be able to come out of uniform for the spring semester.
