7/8 Academy
Weekly News - May 20, 2022
Dear 7/8 Academy Families,
This week our 8th graders had a great field trip to the MI Career Quest event. They were able to engage in hands-on activities related to many different jobs. I’ve had many students share that they had an excellent experience, and I’m so happy that we were able to go on this field trip.
Our students earned the school-wide Sparty Shout Out goal of over 1,000 shout outs! As a reward both grades will be participating in a kickball tournament with their 6th period classes. Look for the pictures and winners of the tournament next week.
I can’t believe the last week of school is almost here. We are looking forward to Crossover and field days the last week of school. 8th grade families, students must meet their academic requirements and have all fines and fees paid by Wednesday May 25th to participate in Crossover.
Have a great weekend,
Shannon Walker
