Grade 7 Homework

Monday, April 24^th  to Thursday, April 27^th

Announcements:

Congratulations Grade 7 students and families for helping raise so much money for the READATHON!!!  $30,000 was raised in total to help with our financial assistance program. Many individual grade 7 students raised enough money to win some outstanding prizes! Also, as a class, we won an ICE CREAM PARTY that will take place sometime in June. We also won a FITNESS CLASS with expert physical trainer, Jeff Shesky!!! That will arranged for a gym class in May. 

A HUGE thank you to those who contributed Value Village Donations and encouraged others to do so as well.  Also, thank you to Tanya (Olivia’s Mom), Olivia, and Geoffrey for helping out on that day.  Special shout out to Trevor Burger (Riley’s Dad) as well!  We were able to raise another $150 for our class budget. 

Cell Phones in Class:  This is the first year that I have had so many grade 7 students with cell phones.  Unfortunately enough students find themselves distracted by their phones that the time has come for a general class rule to be issued.  Here it is: Cell phones should be kept either locked in your locker or kept out of sight for the entire school day!  The exception is for students in the gym at recess.  One student may bring his/her cell phone to keep track of the time and make sure the rest of the students return to class on time.  If students need to contact their parents, they can ask permission from me to contact a parent on their phone during a break time.

Relate Youth –Small Groups this week.  Talk to your youth leaders about the details.  Next Tuesday, May 2^nd is going to be a FREE BARBEQUE with the Master’s Commission Team from Chilliwack coming to lead and serve. BRING FRIENDS!  

Weekly Challenge:  How did you do with encouragement notes? This week, let’s try to abstain from 2 things at the same time.  Let’s try to not listen to any secular music or any secular t.v. shows or movies for this week.  I know it’ll be hard, but I believe we can do it.
