Dear 8th Grade Parents and students,
“Stuff the Stocking” Sock Drive: Our Lutheran Junior Honor Association students are hosting a collection for Bob's Under the Bridge. They are collecting pairs of brand new socks. Collection will go until Wednesday December 18th. Our school goal is to collect 850 pairs of socks!
A Note of thanks from Mrs. Schumann: Thank you for bringing lots of pairs of socks this week. It was great to see the support for this sock collection. It really was a wonderful outpouring of care! Thank you.
Grafton High School Information: If your child is considering attending GHS, you should have received a card in the mail inviting you to the GHS Freshman Experience. The date of this event is January 6, from 6:30-8:30. If you received this card and I am wrong on the date or times, will you please send me an email with the correct information. I appreciate it. After this experience, Greg Johnson will come to our school to meet with the 8th graders who are interested in attending GHS. The date he is coming is January 7. He will be here to answer any questions and just talk about GHS.
Secret Angel: I can believe it is week three of Secret Angels. Students can share their identity with their secret angel either at the bowling party or when we have our ice cream on Friday afternoon. Hopefully they have kept it a secret.
Christmas Party: The middle school will be having their Christmas party on Dec. 19. On this day we will be bowling at Circle B. Permission slips were sent home on Tuesday. If you need another one, please send me an email and I’ll get that to you. I’ve received quite a few of these back already. If you haven’t turned them in yet, please do so by Tuesday. We will enjoy some ice cream on Friday to close the day. It is the middle school teachers’ Christmas gift to the students. We will have popsicles for those who cannot have ice cream.

Writing
- Patterns of Power: The next unit works with building details in sentences, elaborating through participial phrases. We’ll also review how, when, and why writers might choose to use em dashes—a punctuation mark that signifies that the details that follow it offer a stronger picture of the information before it.
- Writing: Our next unit will focus on developing and mastering narrative writing qualities.
