Starting here: curriculum picks for 2016/2017
AKA the curriculum plan round up for the 2026-2017 school year, as it stands in August. I highly anticipate changes as the year progresses.

Celebrate! St. John Vianney
You guys. I did something silly. I got the dates mixed up for this feast day. Mixing up dates is one of my specialties.
