7th graders worked in small groups
to depict parablesas Jesus told them
and how they remain relevant today.

The Pharisee and the Tax Collector
The Lost Sheep
The Workers in the Vineyard
8th Grade
For most of the week, the 8th grade was busy taking CTP5's,
but we managed to sneak in some work on our research papers.
This year the 8th grade is boldly tackling climate change.
The research is intense, but important.
I cannot praise them enough for their
self-motivation, courage, perseverance, and enthusiasm
with this challenging topic.
Anyone want to help us figure out atmospheric chemistry or geophysical turbulence?
Cafe Friday
On Fridays before school starts, the 7th and 8th graders gather for Cafe Friday.
Everyone brings his/her favorite beverage,
and we gather with some good tunes and good friends.
Thanks to the Murrell family for the Krispy Kreams last week.
Enjoying the Fall Weather
7th and 8th graders have been loving the new basketball hoop during recess.
Four square remains popular during morning recess,
as does 207 love!
