NHD WORK NIGHTS
First of all, the following nights will be NHD work nights. Please remember that these nights are supposed to be focused work nights. Students should bring their NHD materials and be prepared to work. Also, while I try hard to get everyone's questions answered, if I have multiple people needing my help, I might not get to everyone.If you would like my help on Wednesdays, come visit me at the Good Fight Community Center on 508 Jay Street, where I tutor every Wednesday. (Please note, I will not be there on February 14 due to a staff meeting that day.)
Lastly, please note that on Tuesdays, NHD work nights start a little later when on Tuesdays. I hold Student Council meetings until 3:30 on those days. I added a couple Mondays in the mix for February, and there is one Tuesday I am unavailable due to a class that I am taking.
