Farewell Fiesta

We will be having our final Farewell Fiesta at the end of May. In order to serve a big meal like that for both the 7th and 8th grades, I will need a lot of help. There is a sign up sheet in the lobby asking for food items, paper goods, help with setup, serving, clean up... Thank you to those who have already signed up, but I need quite a few more parents to help. Please take the time to stop and see if there is any area you can assist.

Thanks!

Graduation Celebration Help

Attention 7th Grade Families!

In case you weren’t aware, it is a St. Jacobi tradition that the 7th grade families host a Graduation Party for the 8th graders and their families after the Graduation Ceremony in the gym. The party is by invitation only ~ only 8th graders and their families are invited to attend. We put on the party, the graduates and their families have the chance to celebrate and then next year it’s our turn to celebrate! All 7th grade families are needed to make this a successful event for the Class of 2011. We don’t have to pay for anything but we need lots of manpower to put together a nice night for them.

What we need from you:
►Prepare food
►Decorate/Set Up on Thursday, June 2
►Servers
►Clean Up
►Greeters (3 adults who will ensure only invited guests are entering the gym)

In an effort to make things easier for you, please choose a task that you would like to help with and respond to Sue Daniels at 427-8473 or daniels6wi@sbcglobal.net or Patty Zuberbier at 329-7784 or pkzub@tds.net. Because Graduation is fast approaching, please contact us by Friday, April 29.

Our goal is to make this a memorable night for the graduating class and their families. Then, next year, our families will be the guests of honor! Thank you for making this celebration possible.

Camp Philip Info for You

Dear Parents,
There will be 9 students per adult chaperone in each cabin. The cabins have flush toilets and bunk beds. We plan on leaving at 8:30 and should arrive around 11:00. There will be a brief orientation before our sack lunch. After lunch we will prepare for the ropes course. The 5/6th grades will be doing the low ropes course and the 7/8th will be doing the high ropes. If they choose not to climb they will be there to encourage others and observe. We will also participate in outdoor games such as Pall Ball and disc golf. After dinner there will be geo caching and Bible study, campfire, sing a long and bedtime (10:00). In the morning after breakfast we will clean the cabins and have time for a game or two before packing up and returning to St. Jacobi. Camp Phillip asks that no electronics be brought along (except for a camera). The chaperones will have phones in case you need to reach us. I am asking chaperones to car pool if possible to carry bedding, luggage and our sack lunches. If you are willing to drive please let me know so I can help with the car pool list. If you have any other questions please contact me at school (425-2040) or home (427-6153)
Our goals for camp are to develop a stronger faith, encourage cooperation and teamwork and enjoy Gods creation. We look forward to a great trip.

T-shirts and Garbage Cans

The students in grades 5-8 will be performing a musical/drama extravaganza. The costuming for most students will be rather simple. They will need to wear nice jeans, no holes or tears, as well as a T-shirt. The T-shirt should be the color of their Kickball Kickoff/Track & Field team color. The T-shirt should be a solid color with no printing on it. If your child needs one, JoAnne Fabrics has colored T-shirts for around $5. Students should have their T-shirts at school on Monday, April 11th.

Also, one of the acts needs 7 clean metal garbage cans. They will be hit with drumsticks. Are you willing to donate or loan us one(or more)?

Thank you for your help and cooperation,

Mr. Frisque & Mrs. Prekop

Singing In Church

The 7th & 8th grade students will be singing in church this Sunday, March 13th at 8:15. The students should meet in the balcony by 8:10. Please remember to set your clocks ahead one hour on Saturday night.

Thank you,
Mr. Frisque

Research Paper - Resource on the Web

I know that writing a research paper can be an overwhelming experience. I break the project into several smaller pieces. Here is a website you might want to bookmark. It also breaks the research paper into several smaller chunks. It also gives clear, easy to understand directions as well as examples.

http://www.crlsresearchguide.org/Research_Tip_Sheets.asp

Research Papers for 6th & 7th Grade

Well, we have begun the adventure of writing research papers. So far we have explored the different topic possibilities. The research papers must be somehow connected to the Science Fair project. We have also begun searching for sources. The students are required to have a minimum of 5 sources which included 3 different types of resources. Different resources may include but are not limited to the following: interviews, books, magazines, encyclopedias (NOT Wikipedia), internet sites, and videos. The whole research paper will be due the end of February or beginning of March. I still need to finalize due dates.

The students have been instructed to explore Sciencebuddies.org for ideas as well as for help in how to complete both the research paper as well as the Science Fair project. Sciencebuddies.org is NOT a requirement, but rather simply a helpful starting point. It may not help everyone.

God’s blessings on the work ahead!

Wow! What A Team!!!

The seventh and eighth grades' forensics team did an awesome job at Wisco today. I was able to sit in on some of their performances, and was extremely impressed with their talent and poise! All that hard work has paid off seventh grade. Way to use your God given gifts! We're all very proud of you. Congratulations!!!

The Jr. Choir sings this Sunday, on November 7th, in the 10:45 worship service. We will warm up in the MultiPurpose Room at 10:25. I could use a few parents to help me by sitting in the balcony with the Jr. Choir. Please remember to set your clocks back one hour Saturday night.

Forensics

The competition begins this Saturday, November 6, at Wisco, at 9:00 am. You will do 3 rounds and should be done by noon or sooner.

Congratulations! Toward the end of next week you will begin doing your pieces in classrooms to help you get used to performing before a group.

To God be the glory!

Jr. Choir - Thank you

I would like to thank all the parents who made the extra effort to bring their children to church early for warm-ups and to sing in second service. I feel the song went well. Next time, I will need some help in the balcony with monitoring students' behavior.

God bless your week!

Jr. Choir to Sing In Church

Jr. Choir will be singing in church this weekend, Oct. 3rd, at 10:45. Warm-ups will begin at 10:25 in the MultiPurpose Room. Please have your child here promptly. If your child is unable to singing with the choir, please let me know BEFORE Sunday morning.

If you attend a different worship service, your child may leave the next time the congregation is singing. This will hopefully decrease the distraction of people moving during the worship service.

Thank you,
Mr. Frisque
