After the much needed Fall Break, the students came back ready to learn and have some fun. And that's just what we did! Today we even had our Fall Party, hosted by our Student Council, for the whole middle school. Between "pumpkin" decorating, and cookie frosting, fun was had by all.
Speaking of fun: TRUNK OR TREAT! It's tonight! The 8th graders have put together a Marvel themed trunk and are excited to dress up and have fun tonight. ToT is insided today due to rainy weather, but fun will still be had by all! Some reminders as we head into the weekend and next week:
Have a wonderful, blessed, long weekend! From the ASF committee: You have your ticket. Soon you will receive an email from Ready Set Auction with instructions as to how to set up your account prior to the event. If you do that, then you can skip the check in line at the Grand Hall. Be sure to remember your password once your account is in place. You can begin viewing the online catalog around Monday, October 29th. Mark your favorites so you can follow the bidding easily and join in on Friday, November 2nd. Let's raise lots of funds for the STEAM trail, robotics programs, and tuition assistance for Our Shepherd Lutheran School. Doors open at 5:30 P.M. at the Grand Hall.

And with that, we've arrived at fall break! I pray you all are able to have a fun and relaxing break together and come back refreshed and ready to finish out the trimester. This week our exciting thing was heading out to check out the Ark Encounter on Thursday. I hope your child was as amazed as I was at all the things we were able to see and learn while we were there.
After this busy week, all the students seemed more than ready for the break we have next week! Remind them to get there few assignments done, read lots, and have a great week! Reminders for when we come back from break:
Be sure to read below for a message from the All Saints' Fest committee. Have a blessed weekend and Fall break! Time is running out. Have you purchased your tickets for the 25th All Saints’ Fest? Individual tickets will go up to $50 per person on October 13. Be sure to take advantage of babysitting offered for that evening. Don’t forget to donate gift cards or items toward the auction. Each grade also contributes handmade items for the auction. You will certainly want to bid on something that your child has helped to make! As in the past, mobil bidding is available during the event using your own smart device. The night usually raises in excess of $30,000! Come for a great celebration that benefits Our Shepherd Lutheran School. It's been another busy week in 8th grade! The Mini Economy is still going strong and the kids are either thriving by working hard, or learning that it's not all that easy to pay your bills if you don't want to work... Not a bad lesson to learn either way!
We also had another cool talk about growth and fixed mindset. We talked about how there are things that trigger our fixed mindset and that can lead to some negative self talk. But then we also spent time as a class coming up with a list of ways to help get ourselves back into a growth mindset and to encourage positive self talk when we struggle with something. It was a neat conversation and I hope they all were able to take something away! Reminders for the upcoming weeks and month:
Please see below for a note from the ASF committee! Have a blessed weekend! Did you know that babysitting is available the evening of All Saints’ Fest on November 2nd? It’s only $15 per child and available at school from 5:15 to 11 P.M.. Remember you can purchase tickets for this evening beginning Sept.15th at $40 per person. The ticket includes a fine meal, fellowship, and the chance to bid on great items. Watch for committee members selling tickets before school and on Sunday morning. Or you can pick up a ticket form, fill it out, and turn it into the office with your payment. Incidentally, the first 100 people purchasing tickets will get a coupon for a free glass of wine the night of the event. Donations for auction are accepted at any time. Ask any All Saints’ Fest committee member or e-mail them at [email protected] about the special Disney ticket incentive!
