From the Desk of Mrs. Schumann May 23-30

Dear 8th Grade Parents and students,

Graduation:  Graduation is on Friday. The service starts at 6:30.  Eighth graders should arrive no later than 6:15.  Some of the students are doing preservice music.  They should arrive at whatever time Ms. Bremer told them.  She may want to run through their pieces.  I’m not sure about that, but your eighth grader should know. Please remember the dress code for graduation: 

  • boys: shirt, tie, dress pants, dress shoes
  • girls: dress or skirt and dress top, dress pants and dress top. No tennis shoes or flip flops.  Sandals with no backs are okay.  Girls that are wearing dresses without straps or spaghetti like straps should wear a cover up during the graduation service and ceremony.  These may be removed when celebrating in the FLC.  Jean jackets have been approved as appropriate cover ups.

Should your child receive an academic award and you want a picture with the teacher who gave the award, be sure to take care of that shortly after the service is over when you are in the Family Life Center.  Teachers will hang around for a short time, but then they will quietly slip out during the celebration.  So get any picture with teachers earlier than later.  It’s going to be a great night!

Homework/Projects:  Eighth graders: Are you done with your final assignments for all of your classes?  Be sure to check with all of your teachers.  Turn in any uniforms or library books before leaving.

8th Grade Class gift:  I am still collecting donations if you would like to contribute.  The eighth graders will be putting this money towards 4 new microwaves and flat screens for the new addition.  Thank you for your generosity.

8th Grade Servant Day: Thank you for bringing in the extra food and drinks for the lunch.  Your kids did an awesome job this year.  The teachers were complementing this group of young men and women for their dedication to the tasks they were given and all of the work they accomplished.   Your children worked tirelessly and without complaining.  They also helped each other out and did more than what was asked.  How awesome is that? !!   You should be so proud of them. I know I am!

Chapel Offerings: If you haven’t already brought in your mite boxes, this is the week to do it!

3-8 Track and Field Day is Thursday.  Remember a lunch if you didn’t sign up for a picnic lunch.

Writing

  • Patterns of Power -  Fair Warning - The following announcement is a really bad teacher joke:  We began a unit on identifying and revising run-on sentences because this is a problem that still plagues my writers, I want them to feel prepared for higher levels of writing and know they have tools to correct run-on sentences and I also believe this will be our last unit. Like always, grammar is a TOOL for effective communication.
  • Writing:  combined with literature because WORD CHOICE so matters in poetry!!!
