APRIL MEMORY VERSE: ROMANS 8:28-29 (ESV)

And we know that for those who love God all things work together for good, for those who are called according to his purpose. For those whom he foreknew he also predestined to be conformed to the image of his Son, in order that he might be the firstborn among many brothers.


LIONS OF THE WEEK

Stay tuned


HABITUDES MOMENT

Ask your child about the new leadership images being introduced in Habitudes this month. 

6th Grade:

Opportunity Statue - We can spend, invest, or waste each day we have.

Lesson Summary - Leaders manage opportunities. Everyone has 86,400 seconds each day to use or abuse. Opportunity is a statue that has hair in front but is bald in the back—you can’t grab it once it is gone.

7th & 8th Grade:

Pocket Change - Earn credibility through integrity and wisdom.

Lesson Summary - Leaders earn credibility with others by displaying integrity and making wise decisions. This puts emotional change in their pocket and enhances their influence. If leaders fail to do this, they will lose the change in their pocket with people. Leaders are constantly filling or emptying their pockets.


COMMUNITY SERVICE UPDATE

With the challenges presented by COVID this year regarding allowed ways to serve, we are making our 10 hours of community service an “encouraged” assignment vs. a “required” assignment this year. Students who complete their 10 hours of community service will receive a 100 test grade in Bible. Students who are unable to complete the 10 hours of community service will not incur a penalty.


LAST WEEK OF SCHOOL SCHEDULE

Please utilize this link to access our middle school schedule for the last week of school so you can make plans to join us for 6th and 7th grade awards programs (virtually for parents) and our 8th grade graduation (in-person for parents).


HONORS PLACEMENT FOR 21/22 SCHOOL YEAR

Please utilize this link to access requirements used for determining honors class placement for next year’s schedule. The placement requirements will apply to our current 6th and 7th grade students as 8th grade students will be placed according to the high school requirements.


UPDATE: 8TH GRADE RETREAT

Unfortunately, due to rising COVID numbers we are going to err on the side of caution and look towards the spring months for our 8th grade retreat to Snowbird.
