8th Grade ::

Parents & Students:
Just a few reminders.....
1. Civil War Stamp Album is due Thursday! This counts as a test grade. Students may turn in early Tues. or Wed. for extra credit on last history test.
2. Keep working on research for black history research paper. Next Monday we will begin writing the rough draft.
3. Accelerated Reader: Some students are falling behind in this area. Please encourage your child to read every night! Those who are playing basketball and cheering must budget their time very carefully. Any free time at school or home should be opportunities for reading. All boys attending the Green Park Tournament this weekend must have 60% of their AR goal in order to participate. This was announced last Wed. before Thanksgiving break; however a few did not read over the break and are still way behind. On Dec. 2, I will begin keeping students on silent lunch and after school in order to achieve AR goals. You will be notified if your son or daugher has to remain after school. If this is a transportation problem, then I will have to find another time that is suitable for all.
4. I will be sending home information about our Christmas party on the 19th. We have a bowling party at Town & Country Bowl-if you are interested in chaperoning, please let me know.
May God continue to bless you and your family during this very special advent season as we prepare for the birth of our Savior!
