Iliad Permission Slips Here

The entire school is going to Queensborough Community College on Thursday, April 23, to see a production of "The Iliad." Permission slips are needed for every student.  Signed permission slips should be handed in to advisors as soon as possible.  We sent home blank permission slips, but if you need another one, you can download it here:


This field trip (and all field trips at WJPS) is not optional.  No alternate programming has been planned for the day.  

"The Iliad" is considered  one of the most important and influential masterpieces in world literature. It established literary standards and conventions that writers have imitated over the centuries, down to the present day.  It could be said that no writer's or reader's education is complete unless he/she is familiar with it!
