8th Grade T-shirts

Beth Van Grinsven has posted the information for ordering your class t-shirts on the door in the back of the 8th grade classroom. She needs your order in by September 10th. Money for the t-shirts should also be given to Beth so she can place the order. Thank you!

Gearing Up For Forensics

The first day of school is just around the corner, and I thought I'd give the parents a heads up on preparing for forensics this year. It's always a scramble to find material to use, especially since libraries are closed part of the Labor Day weekend. It might be a good idea to start looking for material already this coming week. It's best to look under the heading of "monologues" in your local library, when searching for declamation pieces. Humorous and Serious Declamation must be a minimum of 3 1/2 mins. and a maximum of 4 1/2 mins. Interpretive Poetry times range from 3 1/2 to 6 mins. Please ask your 8th grade child to show you their forensic packet after the first day of school. If you have any questions let me know. You can reach me at pprekop@stjacobi.org. Thanks!!!

Enjoy what's left of your summer!
