From the Desk of Mrs. Schumann May 27-June 3

Dear 8th Grade Parents and Students,

Looks like this is the last weekly update of the year.  I won’t be saying in sappy goodbyes in my weekly update.  I’ll be saving all of that for my graduation address!  It’s been a very good year.  Thank you for all of your support and prayers.

Yesterday, the eighth graders did a wonderful job helping around the school!  The teachers are very grateful for their help and all the work they did for them.  Well done, eighth grade!!  I’m so proud of them.

CLASS GIFT:  If you will be donating to the eighth grade class gift, please send in your donations by Thursday. Thank you!

Graduation Service:  Friday, June 3, at 6:30  A letter about graduation will be sent home today with your eighth grader.  If you do not get that letter, please ask me for another copy.  Please have your child at school and in the Family Life Center by 6:15 p.m.  There is a dress code for the evening.  Boys:  shirt, tie, dress pants, dress shoes.  Girls: Dress or skirt and dress top.  Please plan on attending the reception in the Family Life Center after the graduation ceremony.  The 7^th grade families have put together very nice items for your graduate. Please pick these up in the Family Life Center immediately following the service and then while you’re there, be sure to take a few pictures. 

Track and Field Day:  (Thursday, June 2)  All kids should bring plenty of water and a little snack to eat while at the event.  Be sure to listen to the weather and if it is supposed to be cold, send along a sweatshirt or jacket.  If your child signed up to do the high jump as one of their track and field day events, this event is happening on June 1 after school in the gym.  If they are unable to make this date, then they should pick an alternative event.

PERMISSION SLIPS: I still need a few permission slips returned to allow your child to ride the bus to Track and Field Day.  No money is required.  I just need your signature.  Please ask your child for this permission slip.

Cleaning out Lockers: We will clean out lockers on Thursday.  Please send a few bags to school with your 8^th graders for packing up all of their “stuff”.

Closing Chapel is on Friday- If the weather cooperates, the final chapel of the year will be held outside.  So if you are planning on attending the last chapel service, please bring your own lawn chairs. 

Eighth Grade Graduation Party – Saturday, June 4.  It will be held at the Shaughnessy-Wille house.
