This post is a bit late due to our 7th grade Civics field trip yesterday. We had the opportunity to visit the State Capitol, Judicial Building, State House, and Pike Road Town Hall. Students were able to meet and visit with Governor Bob Riley, Chief Justice Sue Bell Cobb, House Speaker Seth Hammett, Representative Jay Love, and Pike Road Mayor Gordon Stone. Many thanks to Whitting McLemore for putting this trip together, and to Connie Cantey, Kelly Long, and Carol Jackson for serving as chaperons. Julie Green was also a big help as she brought our boxed lunches, lovingly prepared by Greg Fuller and the SAGE Dining staff, over to the Capitol for our lunch on the Capitol grounds.
Camp Cosby
I am really looking forward to next week because it means another trip to beautiful Camp Cosby with our 6th grade students, teachers, and parents! We will be leaving Wednesday morning, and we are set to return to campus Friday afternoon. Please be in prayer for all of us as we make this trip and continue the Camp Cosby Tradition.
Peter Pan Field Trip
Our middle school English classes will be going to the Shakespeare Festival November 30 to attend a performance of Peter Pan. You will receive more information regarding this trip within the next couple of weeks. A fee of $18.00 will appear on your November statement.
Bible Studies
We are so blessed to have parents who are willing to lead our students in Bible studies on a weekly basis. I would like to draw your attention to two new studies, and invite you to encourage your child to participate.
Our 6th grade boys and their fathers engage in Bible study on Monday mornings at 7:15 in the lobby of Willett Hall. Breakfast is served, along with a short devotional. If you haven't had a chance to join this group, they would be happy to have you starting this week.
Patricia Watts has started a Bible study for our 8th grade girls. This week, they will begin meeting in our choral room which is located directly underneath Willett Hall adjacent to the band room and the "Old" Gym. We would like to encourage all 8th grade girls to take part in this wonderful opportunity!
