WELCOME BACK EVERYONE!
Our 8th grade class chose our theme this year based on the Bible verse John 21:7.
Then the disciple whom Jesus loved said to Peter, "It is the Lord!" As soon as Simon Peter heard him say, "It is the Lord," he wrapped his outer garment around him (for he had taken it off) and jumped into the water.
WELCOME BACK! Let's DIVE IN.......

The Great American Solar Eclipse
Each class has special activities planned. To ensure students eyes are protected, not all students will be going outside during the eclipse. If their class does go outside, they will not be looking directly at the sun. Please talk to your children about the importance of not looking at the sun. If you would like to take your child for a special viewing, we understand. Please contact the school office if you plan on picking up your child.

Student Memory Books
Do you keep your child’s special papers and artwork? Do they give you happiness when you look through them and recall your child’s mental and physical growth? Guess what? Many other parents do this too. It can be hard keeping them together though and we often put them away where they’ll be safe but not available to look through.
Wouldn’t it be nice to have these precious memories bound into a hard back book that we can keep out and look at when we need a smile? We can help! Just collect your child’s papers throughout the year and during the first week of summer, we send them off to Golden Rule Bindery. For a nominal fee of around $23.00, they bind them into a beautiful 8½” x 11” hardbound book of memories. If you are interested in doing this, start saving those papers now. Then, watch for more information as we get closer to the end of the school year.
