Hello Parents,
Over the past few weeks our students have had the opportunity to participate in several really amazing field trips. Yesterday, they worked out with the First Lady an experience many will never forget. Her message of healthy living and decision-making was one we all need to be reminded.
Previous to Catholic Schools Week, social studies students finished learning about the articles of the Constitution and the importance of the Bill of Rights. Then, students dug into history on their own. They researched and listened to speeches from their classmates over the past week. They learned about times the Constitution was changed or added to because citizens spoke out against injustice and inequality. Today, they had an open-note quiz to show what they've learned.
Students have also had guest teachers for Junior Achievement one each week. They learned about entrepreneurship, decision-making, and using resources. Thank you to our three eighth grade volunteers: Mr. Hagenbucher, Mr. Hughes, and Mr. Doud.
Next week, we will begin looking at the Movement West. Students will become familiar with the challenges and conflicts pioneers faced as they traveled west.
