  6. Ben Franklin Summed Up • Ben Franklin was an all around American. He invented and fought for the good of his country. He made sure we had a future secure with a great government and aphorisms that teachers and grandparents still like to throw around (early to bed early to rise makes a man healthy wealthy and wise). He gave us words for thought (“Way to Wealth”) and a cool looking $100 bill. All in all, Ben Franklin taught us one thing for certain: how to have a good time.

  7. Thank You Miss Stephenson • For all the laughs and the information that will stick with us much longer than everything else we learned in other classes. You gave us much more than a book could have taught us. THANK YOU
