Hello everyone in Laura & Jose's Family Group. We would like for you to join us in making personal bios to share with High School students in Louisiana. Our aim is to connect with high school students that were affected by Huricane Katrina. We look forward to reading all of the wonderful stories we at West Side High School have to share with the students in Louisiana high schools. We are asking for West Side High School students in Laura & Jose's Family group to begin by wrting a little about themselves. They can talk about favorite music, fashion, t.v. programs, hobbies, school subjects or anything else that may come to mind.
