October is already here, where did the time go.  For 8th-grade homeroom, if you have not registered for the TACHS exam please do it soon.  The final date to register is October 21st. 

 During this month: 

• 6th-grade religion will examine the Old Testament, the Book of Genesis. We will recap the biblical story of the creation of the universe and the story of Adam and Eve.   God created man and the world, we are joined together, so, therefore, we are called to be stewards of his world. 

•   6th-grade social studies will bring the class on a journey to the first civilization, the Fertile Cresent. This area in Mesopotamia is also known as the “Cradle of Civilization,” where new technologies advanced mankind and influenced our current world. Students will examine how the art of recording bartering transactions, which led to the alphabet and the recording of time in history. 

• 7th-grade social studies will examine the settlements of Central American and the conquests from the Spanish. From there, they will discuss the exploration of other European countries and consider their colonies throughout North America.

•  8th-grade social studies will journey further into the Civil War, where they will examine decisive battles and influential people that changed America. Once the campaigns are over, and the Union is restored, the students will discuss the reconstruction of the country.

This Halloween, remember to be safe and enjoy the school’s Trunk’o’Treat.

Attend mass on Sundays.
