Farewell Fiesta

It's time to pull out your sombreros and get ready for our second annual Farewell Fiesta. Our Fiesta will be held on Friday May 22. I will supply all of the meat, but will need the rest of the fixings from the parents of the 7th and 8th grades. I will also be calling on parents to help with set up, serving, and clean up. There are a number of families that signed up in the beginning of the school year, but we will need to know the particulars. There will be a sign up sheet in the lobby by the end of the week.

The 7th and 8th grades will have plenty of time to sign each others yearbooks, and have a fun time together. Hope you can help!

Course 2 Math Students...only 8 more days!

Did you know that our third quarter ends on March 20...that leaves only 8 school days from today! Many of you are working very hard to complete your work on time using your God-given abilities to their fullest. Some of you are not! Now is the time to pour it on! Spend some extra time, and do a great job! Remember, you can always check your grades on PowerSchool, so there should be no surprises for anyone when those report cards get passed out!

7th Grade Art Research Paper

If your child hasn't already told you, they will be writing a research paper on a famous artist. I am allowing only one person to report on each artist. Your child must have his or her artist chosen by Monday Feb. 23.

Handouts will be sent home with your child this week explaining how to prepare a MLA style paper. They will also be given information on how to collect material to use in their paper, along with instructions on how to outline their paper.

Because they will be expected to include three sources, outside of Internet sources,it will require some trips to the library. They will be preparing 3 drafts of their paper, with their final draft due on March 20.

Any assistance that you can provide for your child would be much appreciated.

Thank you!
