Parents,

The 7th grade class is working on another comparison paper. The topic of this 
paper is Christmas customs. Each student is researching the customs of two 
different countries; the information will then be put into essay form. The 
suggested websites can be found on the school's homepage. A link to that page 
has been posted on this site's LINKS page.

The 6th grade class is moving steadily through the parts of speech. All 
the "easy" ones will be completed by Christmas, just in time for the 2nd 
quarter report cards. The third quarter will bring some challenging work, but 
the class is up to it. They have a good grasp of the basics.

The 8th grade class is thinking ahead also, but their thoughts are focused on 
their future careers. They have begun a career project which involves some 
self-assessement of skills and interests. Each student will complete an 
interest inventory test which will provide suggested career paths. After 
reviewing the suggestions, students will choose and research a career. Their 
information will be presented in the form of a powerpoint presentation. The 
final activity is a real life skill - budgeting and living within their 
means.For more information on the project or to review the activities with 
your student, a link is provided on LINKS page of this site. The career site 
also provides information to parents regarding financing college education.

The class is working on a service project. We are provided gift bags for 
residents of a nursing facility. We are collecting donations of cards and 
small wrapped Christmas candy. We provide bags for 40 residents.
