Dear Parents and Students:
It does not feel like the last week of school for me. When I speak with some of the students, they tell me that they want to stay longer. I believe that speaks strongly of the quality environment that St. Paul Lutheran Church and School provides. It has been an honor serving as your eighth grade teacher and I see a bright future in each of your lives. May God bless you as you transition to high school next year. Please keep in touch and visit us whenever you wish!
This week St. Paul Lutheran Church and School is celebrating Teacher Appreciation Week. We begin today with a special lunch for the teachers. We are also honoring Mrs. Karle with an assembly as she concludes her teaching career. She has inspired children for 25 years and we pray for her as she starts a new chapter in her life.
The yearbook will be available for pick-up during the summer. We could not distribute the yearbook any earlier or else the fourth quarter events (i.e. graduation, fun day, etc.) would be left out. It will be in color and the yearbook committee is pleased with how it is turning out. The price for the yearbook will be about $30-$35. You may purchase your copy in advance with the office.
Please let me know about your child's plans for school next year. I am happy to hear about five acceptances to IB! If you have any questions, feel free to contact me.
We continue assisting Japan with the devastation resulting from the earthquake and tsunami with your chapel offerings. Please keep them in your prayers as they strive to rebuild and reestablish their country.
Upcoming Events
Fun Day - 5/26
Awards Assembly - 5/26, 2 P.M.
Graduation & Reception - 5/26, 7 P.M.
In His Name,
Jesus T. Pena, M.Ed.

I met with seventh grade parents on Friday regarding graduation plans. In the past the tradition has been for the seventh grade families to host the graduation reception. We are excited about the plans we have for this event, so that it is a special evening for the graduates. Thank you for sending several pictures to Mr. Jim Schmidt for the slide show for graduation night.

Dear Parents and Students:
Students should be studying for their algebra end-of-course exam which is scheduled for Wednesday, May 11 at 10:30 A.M. - 11:30 A.M. The test is timed (60 minutes) so familiarity with concepts is extremely important. Each student has sets of problems and answers to measure their degree of success in each objective. "Practice makes perfect."
The students leave for Washington D.C. on Thursday. I went on a similar trip with the youth group at my church when I was sixteen years old. This is a great opportunity to learn about our country and to close the year in fellowship. Blessings on your travel!
Please let me know about your child's plans for school next year. I am happy to hear about four acceptances to IB! If you have any questions, feel free to contact me.
If you would like to be involved with planning the eighth grade graduation, please let me know. Thank you for sending several pictures to Mr. Jim Schmidt for the slide show for graduation night.
