Class of 2020!

Dear Eighth Grade Families,

         Spring is hopping our way quite quickly!  It is hard to believe that March is here. Please take the time to review your kiddo’s progress by reviewing their enclosed report card; this marks that we are 2/3 done with our final year of middle school! As we reflect on our growth that we see here on our report cards and enter into our final trimester, I’d like to catch you up to speed.

         In February, eighth grade has been working hard in all of our subject areas. We’ve mastered the Bill of Rights during our Social Studies time together, and hopefully shared a bit of our new found knowledge with you as well. We are well on our way into studying the early years of our young republic, with a keen eye kept on making connections to current events whenever prudent. In Religion class we’ve been learning about the traditions of church liturgies and what these traditions represent. We’re paying special attention to our intentions this Lenten season as we reflect, repent, and prepare our hearts for the celebration on Easter.

Looking at our March calendar, we have some big events on the horizon. Please note important calendar dates below for your families:

-3/18---> 4/1: scheduled longterm dismissal

-4/10---> 4/19: Easter Break

-5/1: Special Persons Day/ St. Felicitas dance (12pm dismissal)

-5/15: 8th Grade Graduation Dinner Dance (time TBD)

-5/20: tentative date for 8th Grade retreat (more info in following months)

-5/29: Baccalaureate mass

-5/31: GRADUATION! WE MADE IT
