Week of 09/29 - 10/03

This week we will be wrapping up international trade (for now). We will finally be getting into the US government and the way it is able to measure the economy and eventually influence the domestic economy.

Well, we did not get 1st place in the JDRF drive but we have earned two consolation prizes: 1) LRHS has raised more money for JDRF this year than any other year; 2) 2nd place still gets us a breakfast sponsored by Executive Council. We should also thank Connor for bringing in donuts last week - who doesn't love donuts?

This is our tentative plan for the week. Keep in mind out scheduled quiz for Tuesday.
