Dear 7th Graders and Parents,

We have another busy week ahead of us.  Cultural Fair boards should be completed and ready for display tomorrow. This is also our last week of Girls Basketball.

Student will be presenting their cultural fair projects at the Science, Engineering, & Cultural Fair on Wednesday, March 13 at 6PM. They will also be presenting to the school classrooms on Thursday, March 14 at 9AM. If family members are unable to attend in the evening, they may stop by the morning presentation.

VOLUNTEER OPPORTUNITY

The Knights are doing soup supper on March 20th and could use some students to help set up chairs from 3pm to 3:30pm.

Plant Blessing Ceremony

On Friday, March 22, Fr. Tom will be joining the entire school for a Plant Blessing and Prayer Service for our ICRS Tiny Forest Project.  Students will be planting over 400 trees and shrubs throughout the day.  Everyone is welcome to join the students for this special event. (It will be similar to the pet blessing)

 

This Week’s Reminders:

Writing – We are turning our digital literacy project into an editorial essay.  Due March 15.

Religion – Dear Parents, This is our fifth week of Lent.  This week seventh graders will celebrate the Sacrament of Reconciliation on Thursday.  Student Council will lead us at Mass on Friday.  All are welcome to celebrate with us.

Seventh graders continue their study of the Holy Spirit by understanding the Gifts and Fruits of the Holy Spirit .  This project will be due on Friday.  On Tuesday, the students will complete the Chapter 6 review.  On Wednesday they will take the assessment.  Don’t forget to have your child participate in service.
