WHI will test on Greece next week, December 13th and 14th.  We will also have a 4 1/2 week interim test.  This is something new LHS is trying to do for all SOL classes.  We will take the exam before the break and it will cover Greece, Persian and some of the most missed items on the 1st Quarter Exam.  GOOD LUCK!
