The 7th grade projects were amazing!! The children really worked hard and it paid off. Last week everyone gave their presentations and I know we were all impressed.

The 7th grade was also impressed by the great show we saw at Bishop Ford-it was a real treat. Thank you to Ms. Dyer for chaperoning with us. Everyone was well behaved.

The 8th grade took their science tests-saying it was a little difficult. They have one more state test-SS in June.

8th grade graduation fee of $125 is due this Friday. There was a note sent home about this last week.

Thank you to the parents who showed up for the graduation meeting. It is great when parents can get involved and help us out.

8th grade confirmation is this Saturday. They have practice Thursday night at 6:30 in the Church. They need to come with their parents and their sponsors. This is a mandatory meeting.
