8th Grade Communiqué # 2 Sept. 7, 2010
Dear 8th Grade Families,
If the first few days are any indication, this will be a terrific
year. Overall, the students were attentive, engaged and ready to
assume their role as school leaders. This week they will be working
on their “Where I’m From” poems and begin drafts of their leadership
essays. We begin U.S. history with a study of the Bill of Rights and
religion features the link between dignity and happiness.
