Where in the World is Montague? |
Our theme this year at Blythe
is "Around the World in 180 days!" Montague the Bear
will give clues each morning from a French or Spanish
country. Students will try to guess which country
Montague is visiting that week, and will drop their answers
in a special box in the Media Center. A winner will be
drawn each Friday.
