8th grade room
Classroom Theme - “Flying High Together”
-
The theme is based on Isaiah 40:30-31. . . those who hope in the Lord will renew their strength. They will soar on wings like eagles . . .
- 8th Graders set goals as a class and individual goals for the 2009 – 2010 school year.
- Throughout the year students learn to soar by relying on their Lord as their faith is renewed.
Faith and Values Class
- 8th graders continue to study our Lutheran faith with an emphasis on how they apply that faith in their daily lives.
- As students apply their faith they keep a journal, work on topic related projects, and do Christian Living service projects.
