8th Grade Update
November 10, 2017
Dear 8th Grade Students and Families,
A huge thank you to all of you who attended our first Confirmation meeting! It was an evening filled with rich conversations about our ever growing relationships with God. Another big shout out to all parents who attended teacher conferences on Friday! Thank you for coming out in the cold! :)
There are no Open Houses this weekend for any high school our 8th graders are applying to. Take this time to check in and together reflect on how HSPT prep is going. Remember: study for at least ten minutes every single day. More information can be found below.
Our upcoming week is jam packed with excitement! On Monday, Cardinal Tosa Chavez will be celebrating Mass with us and visiting the school! This is an extraordinar privilege for us all to share in. Cardinal Chavez is truly one of the most incredible peace workers of our time and it is an unimaginable blessing to welcome him to our community. All are invited to attend Mass this Monday at 12 at the church. Please remind students to be in extra perfect uniform so we can look sharp when welcoming our special guest!
Enjoy the Fall weather and see you Monday!
Love,
Ms. K
