Short Story Of Claire Xu
Hi, my name is Claire Xu and I will be an 8th grader at Lakota this school year. I am writing this to inform you that I will not be at school from September 7- October 4 (I did talk to you about this on August 18). I will not be at school during this time period because I will be visiting my family in China.

Thank you and please understand,
Claire
