RELIGION CLASS UPDATES:

The students worked so hard to complete special projects and art work for Catholic Schools Week. I hope everyone had the opportunity to stop by and admire their successes! 

8th grade:  Many thanks to the 8th grade for their excellent participation and donations to our monthly Unbound collection. They raised over a $90 to help their sponsored 8th grade student, Katherin, from Colombia.  Soon they will begin a project on Social Justice as we continue to learn about the history of our Catholic faith and how it impacts current topics today.

7th grade: We are continuing to study the life and ways of Jesus as our role model for life, even in the different, modern times we live in and with the different kinds of challenges we face today. The 7th graders are currently working on a group project in class which involves the creation of their own board games. The games require the winners to make good, moral choices and the right decisions according to our faith.

6th grade: The students are working on group projects called "Catholics Around the World" with emphasis on the Solidarity principle of Catholic Social Teaching.  They are having fun exploring and comparing the traditions practiced by different cultures around the world by Catholics. We are confirming that each human was created by God with a special purpose and that we can grow closer to Him and live according to His will by following our own Catholic traditions and practices that began in the Old Testament.
