Greetings! Before we get into the academic announcements for the week, I have a few reminders for my homeroom. First, the Christmas Concert is Tuesday night at 7:00 p.m. and I do hope you will join us for the concert. Also, this Sunday, December 11th, the eighth grade families are hosting a coffee hour and pancake breakfast between the services to raise money for the end of year activities. A flier was sent home on Friday, but if you have any questions, please contact one of the eighth grade class parents.

This week the students will continue to learn about how the colonists lived during the 17th and 18th centuries. They will especially focus on the social groups within the regions of the colonies, and will then learn about the tragedies of the slave trade and the unfortunate spread of slavery in the American colonies. While slavery was abolished 150 years ago, according to the A21 Campaign, there is more slavery int eh world than ever before. Prayerfully others will realize the evils of this system.
