We are moving ahead into chapter 6 and graphing inequalities – sounds like so much fun! We have wrapped up chapter 5 and how to write and solve lines on a graph. We are on pace to be half way through the curriculum as we reach the midpoint of the school year.
Mr. Prawel
We are finishing “More than a carpenter” and looking at the evidences for the deity of Christ as well as who He is to us. As we look at the nativity scene and the implications of the life of Christ, we are drawn to the generosity and humility of such a savior. Hopefully He is more that a Savior, more than a name, more than a figure in History – He is Immanuel, God with us.
Mr. Prawel
We are winding down the semester and looking towards our final exam. This week and through this holiday season, we are looking at social programs such as social security, welfare, Medicare and Medicaid and the implications that these programs have on our society. How do we provide for our needy yet foster the American Spirit that helped build this country? Have a pleasant holiday season with your family!
Mr. Prawel
We are turning the century and looking at the development of the US as an industrial, financial, and military power. Underneath all of these fine advancements, we are dealing with poverty, corruption, vice, and racism. As we move into this holiday season, be grateful and mindful of what we have and what we’ve lost as a nation – but mostly on what we have

The 11th grade forensic class has completed a project on lip, hand, palm and footprints. They completed the written and oral presentations.
The Forensics is presently working on labs to examine question documents.

The 8th grade class completed a survey project. Their projects included a survey chart, double bar graphs, line plots and pictographs.

The seasoned scientists of the 8th grade have been phenomenal so far in their studies about rocks and Earth’s resources. We have just opened up the Earth’s surface to discover the world of plate tectonics and plate boundaries. The students are preparing group presentations to teach their fellow classmates about their topics in new and exciting ways. I am excited to see the demonstrations that may take place with this hands-on topic!
Miss Lawrence
The rousing scientists of the 7th grade have just finished a grueling couple of weeks studying heredity. While the notes and tests are never as exciting as hands-on activities, the students prepared their minds and they are now practicing their skills in activities about mitosis and meiosis. The students are actually going through each step of the two processes and showing the amount of chromosomes present in each cell. I am very proud of the students for tackling such a hard concept as mitosis and meiosis!
Miss Lawrence
The sixth graders are diving deep into the Earth in our current unit about “The Changing Earth.” So far the students have discovered why the tectonic plates move and how mountains form. They are currently working through a project where they are constructing the Earth’s surface (with an apple) to observe the different layers of Earth and how each layer can be affected. As the young scientists have already studied volcanoes as a form of mountain building, they will soon dig deeper to understand what actually happens inside a volcano! Get ready!

KV participated in our school Christmas production. We were wise men and sang our best. The program was a success and a blessing to parents and families.
