Called to Be a Blessing

Matthew 5:3-12

Blessed are the poor in spirit, for theirs is the kingdom of heaven. Blessed are those who mourn, for they will be comforted. Blessed are the meek, for they will inherit the earth. Blessed are those who hunger and thirst for righteousness, for they will be filled. Blessed are the merciful, for they will be shown mercy. Blessed are the pure in heart, for they will see God. Blessed are the peacemakers, for they will be called children of God. Blessed are those who are persecuted because of righteousness, for theirs is the kingdom of heaven.

Matthew 5:3-12

 7th & 8th GRADE NEWS

8th Grade Philadelphia Trip: We are so excited to announce that the 2023 trip fundraising snack day will end for this trip and will begin for the 2024 trip starting in March. The last day to sign up for the 2023 trip will be March 1 and so we will officially begin working on the 2024 trip on that day. PARENT NIGHT for the 2024 trip will be Monday, March 6 for any parents interested in signing up their current 7th grade student. I will go over all details of the trip to help you know that your student is completely supervised throughout the 5 days we are gone. I will include pictures and itinerary so you know exactly what is involved.

Also, snack day will remain $1 through the end of this year. It is getting increasingly hard to find snacks for a price that can be sold for $1. We would love some donations if that is possible! Items loved by students include Pringles packs, SunChips, Skinny Pop and Flamin’ Hot Cheetos. Thank you for all of your support through the year!

8th Grade: Our end of the year events are fast approaching. Remember to keep April 15 free for work at our annual auction. Every 8th grade student and parent is needed to work for a short time on that evening. Details will be coming home with students in the next week. 8th Grade trip will take place from Tuesday, May 16 – Saturday, May 20. Also in May, we will have an 8th grade photo taken and then Graduation will take place on Wednesday, May 24th at 7:00 pm. We will have more details as those dates approach.
