Welcome Summer
The 2009-2010 school year has come to an end. As we look back on the past year, we can see how much we've accomplished together. The boys' and girls' volleyball and basketball teams were very successful in their respective leagues, which ran from August to March.
Academically, we learned functions in math, read novels in language arts, and who could forget the science fair that consumed much of our time. Several students every trimester have achieved honor and high honor roll. Some, just this past grading period, attained this distinction for the first time. The class is looking forward to the many challenges that face them next year.
Some of the highlights of the past year include our field trips. Our first was a trip to Springfield, to learn about Abraham Lincoln and to see how our government worked in the past and now. Recently we went to The Field Museum. We also took a field trip to the Morning Star Mission in Joliet. There we toured the facility and helped them ready their fund-raising flyers for mailing. The students were greatly affected by this very generous act of giving. Our last field trip--our 7th annual trip to the Creamery- is where we bond as the new 8th grade class.
The year ended with the 8th Grade Graduation Banquet in May. The hard working 7th grade parents organized an exciting evening for the graduates and their families, as well as the teachers and staff of St. Mary. The seventh graders did their part as the wait-staff for the evening. They did a wonderful job of serving and cleaning up after the banquet.
Seventh grade was filled with many memories and challenges. We feel more than ready to take on the role as leaders of the school next year. We look forward to being the most involved 8th grade ever.
