6th Grade Retreat

Wednesday, Sept. 26th

In the afternoon on Wednesday, Sept. 26th, the 6th graders will participate in a mini-retreat focused on team building and recognizing the gifts they can bring to the middle school community led by Mrs. Riehm, Mrs. Gracia, and Mrs. Jameson. This will be an exciting opportunity for the 6th graders to get to know each other on a deeper level and reflect on what they want their middle school experience to be. 

 

Middle School High School Day

Attention 8th Grade Students and Parents:

Spending a day shadowing a student is a valuable experience when trying to determine the right high school. Therefore, we have reserved Monday, October 29th as "8th Grade Shadow Day." Students interested in shadowing a high school student are encouraged to do so on this day.

 

Please note: Parents need to contact the high school directly to set up the shadow experience. Students NOT shadowing on Monday, October 29th should come to school.

Whate'er I do, things great or small
Whate'er I do, things great or small
Whate'er I speak or frame.
Thy glory may I seek in all,
Do all in Jesus' name.

My Father, for His sake I pray.
Thy child accept and bless
And lead me by Thy grace to-day
In paths of righteousness. Amen.
