Good afternoon!
The students completed their Knights of Columbus Essays describing the responsibility of a Catholic citizen in America. This was a joint effort in both Religion and Language Arts class as the students worked on content in religion and the components of writing in Language Arts. Students this week have also discovered that our Catholic Church is a social group similar to any other with specific purpose, membership requirements, and an organized form of leadership. This weekend students will be investigating volunteer and missionary opportunities through the Catholic Volunteer Network. Hopefully this will open some doors for those that love to serve. The eighth graders will finish their "Being Catholic" Unit on Tuesday, October 12, when they will have a test over the elements that make us Catholic.
The students were also invited to the Christ our Life Conference coming to Des Moines in a few weeks. The link is below if you are considering attending. Tickets are buy on get one free. Please take a minute to watch the overview video on the website. http://www.christourlifeiowa.com/
Students were made aware of the Prudential Spirit of the Community Award. They each have handouts of the directions on how to apply for this award. The due date for the application is November 1st and they must get Mrs. Hade to certify their application. http://spirit.prudential.com/view/page/soc
Lastly, October is the Month of the Rosary and as a middle school we pray the rosary every week. We are praying the Joyful Mysteries in support of all those struggling with life decisions. Some students are struggling with remembering the prayers for the rosary so please review the rosary prayers with your child using the following website. http://www.newadvent.org/images/rosary.pdf Thank you.
Have a wonderful weekend.
Peace,
Ms. Nennig
