Hello there 7th Graders!  I am Lillaana Fortier-Brigham, a 30-year veteran teacher @ Hazelton. 

I have spent the entire summer getting ready to learn & grow with you. 

I love to travel, do research and, more than anything, I love to witness your "A-HA!" moment when you learn something new!

Working & learning in my class will be worth your time and energy! 

If you are willing to GROW, stay positive, follow class procedures and apply yourself, you will succeed. 

You WILL learn in our class...I guarantee it!

You have no idea how much I look forward to being your resource for all things ELA, World History, and AVID. 

This year, we will be preparing for our future by

• Taking ownership of our learning
  • getting organized
  • collaborating with team members
  • reading critically
  • analyzing & reflecting on text
  • taking & using highly effective notes. 

And when all that work gets overwhelming, we'll take a BRAIN BREAK...(ask me what that means when school starts). 

Our OVERARCHING mission is to be PRODUCTIVE so that we can get ourselves college and career ready in 2023-24.   

Buckle up and let's get going!
