Middle School Notes








Happy Friday!

Check out these pictures of our Rolling Tones ensemble field trip to Atlanta to see Wicked. The day started Thursday at 6:45 a.m. as we had a brief organizational meeting followed by prayer in the Choral Room. We then departed for Atlanta, and arrived in time for lunch at the world-famous Varsity. After lunch, we headed a couple of blocks over to the historic Fox Theatre for the production which was absolutely fabulous!

Immediately following the musical, several actors and tech personnel met students from several schools at the foot of the stage for a brief question/answer session. Following this, we all piled into our cars and headed for home, arriving almost exactly twelve hours after we left.

Several of our seventh grade students joined Miss Head’s evening Pizza and Parts of Speech study session as seen in this picture. This was a creative way to prepare for an important test!

Here are a few important reminders and announcements:

1. Please help us by giving at least a one-week notice for any absences that require prior approval by the administration. You may submit your request to me in writing.
2. Please help us in the carpool line by pulling as far forward as possible when picking your child up from school. This will help prevent cars from backing up onto East Trinity Blvd.
3. Monday is a holiday, and we will dismiss at 12:00 noon on Tuesday and Wednesday due to standardized testing.
4. Please ensure that your child gets plenty of sleep, eats a good breakfast, and comes prepared for testing Tuesday and Wednesday. Students are required to bring two #2 pencils and a calculator, as well as a snack for our sessions.

Here are our tests for the upcoming week:
