The eight grade has had an interesting week!We welcomed Hannah, a sweet new student who has become a sweet new friend. We listened to a Holocaust survivor tell her harrowing story of survival during World War II. And today we just took a quiz on our 80th SAT word. And we are learning this:
The seventh grade is learning all there is to know about punctuation. They are Team Oxford Comma; they now know the correct usage of semicolons and colons, and they know that putting quotation marks around something does not, in fact, emphasize the word. So if you are out for breakfast, and a sign outside says "hot coffee"....might want to rethink that.
My sixth graders are in the throes of pronoun usage. "Me and my mom went to the movies" doesn't work any more. "My friend and myself ran around the soccer field" is out, too.
It's Hoops for Hope Day! Come help us honor cancer survivors at our annual fundraiser. Basketball games, food, silent auctions, luminaries, and so much more!
Please talk with your child about chapel. It has truly become a wonderful time of praise and worship. I'm so encouraged by our students!
Please keep our school in your prayers. It is truly a wonderful place to be.
Have a beautiful weekend!!
