Grade 7 Homework

Mon. Nov. 24^th to Friday, Nov. 28^th

Announcements: Report cards will go home next Wednesday, December 3^rd .  Parent teacher interviews are on Thursday, Dec. 4^th and Friday, Dec. 5^th.  At this time, I will be explaining and introducing parents to the Secondary’s Reporting Program – Students Achieve.  

KCC Relate Youth is Life Groups this week.  Gr. 7/8  Boys meet at the church and Gr. 7/8 Girls meet at 150 Moyer Rd. (Leah Fielder’s house)

Next week (Tues. Dec. 2^nd) will be Youth all together at the Church.  We will have a Bottle Depot run and supper at my house.  Mr. M brought in bottles for us so there are LOTS.  You can bring in yours also if you want.  Any parents who want to help out are welcome. 

Our Kitale Ga Ga for Glasses Fundraiser was a GINORMOUS success!! The grade 7’s brought in $245.00 and the whole school raised $1745.0l.  We brought in 145 glasses.  This is such a blessing to our missionaries and to the children/families in Kitale.  Thank you so much to everyone who contributed!!  The grade 7’s also gave of their time and energy as they ran the carnival that day.  It was exhausting but they worked tirelessly without complaint. The positive comments on how well they did are still rolling in.  You can be very proud of your son/daughter. 

Weekly Challenge:   Did everyone remember to brush their teeth 2 times a day last week? This week, please abstain from listening to any secular music.  This refers to any music you choose to listen to.  It doesn’t count if you walk into a restaurant or store and they are playing secular music, obviously, but it does mean sharing this abstaining challenge with your family and politely asking them to not listen to secular music in the car or at home while you are around.  If they say, “No,” then respect that.  Don’t force them or be annoying about it. Try to avoid it as much as possible.  This is YOUR challenge, not theirs.  For some of you this will be super easy and others super hard.  I’d love to get your feedback at the end of this challenge.
