Christmas Break is finally here! This week has been a busy one with some crazy weather messing with schedules, plenty of basketball and cheerleading, and then, ending with all sorts of Christmas fun!
We had our rescheduled Christmas program this morning and the kids all did wonderfully! If you weren't able to attend, check out the Our Shepherd Lutheran facebook page - we live streamed it and you should still be able to find it. The rest of the day was spent hanging out with our Chapel Buddies, exchanging gifts, playing games, eating food, watching a movie, eating even MORE food, and finally heading to the gym to burn off some of the crazy amounts of Oreo Balls we ate! It was certainly a fun way to celebrate Christmas as a class. Just a few reminder for you:
Have a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year! Here is an awesome opportunity to work on your writing with other Middle School Students this coming New Year!

These weeks leading up to Christmas Break have gone so fast, yet I know we all still can't wait for Christmas to be here! This week has been another busy one with practicing for the Christmas Program to Basketball and Cheerleading to Advent Services and all that on top of normal school things. But, we're still getting things done and staying on top of it all as best we can.
Speaking of staying on top of things, the 8th graders have done a pretty good job as a whole of keeping on top of their homework. The beginning of the trimester took a little adjusting, but getting things turned in on time is becoming more and more of a habit for a lot of them. Just one more week and they can take a break! I don't have much more to report with Mackinaw - just confirming the possibility of the bus and then I'll get final costs out to everyone! But - the pizza fundraiser is upon us! The whole class seems pretty excited about being able to raise money for their trip, so keep encouraging them to talk to people. If you have any questions about that or are unsure of what to do with order forms, please let me know. Upcoming things:
