Welcome to the 7th and 8th Grade Scoop. This is where you will find information for both 7th and 8th Grade. At the bottom of this newsletter is where you will find the 7th and 8th Grade homeroom newsletter.
Our school theme is “Endure” with our verse of “Therefore, since we are surrounded by so great a cloud of witnesses, let us also lay aside every weight, and sin which clings so closely, and let us run with endurance the race that is set before us, looking to Jesus, the founder and perfecter of our faith, who for the joy that was set before him endured the cross, despising the shame, and is seated at the right hand of the throne of God. Consider him who endured from sinners such hostility against himself, so that you may not grow weary or fainthearted.“–Hebrews 12: 1-3.
