Dear Parents/Guardians,
For the second and third enrichment projects of the school year, I am assigning two reports for the

For the assignments your child will pick a Former President and write a research report, adhering the
Rubric/Framework I have attached on the following pages. The Former President Report is due on
Wednesday, February 24, 2016.
The Historical/Famous African American Report is due on Friday March 11, 2016. For this assignmentyour child will write a report on a famous or historically significant African-American. Again, I have
