This Friday will mark the final day of the first trimester. Now that we are acclimated to the routine and academic expectations of the Jr. High, it's a good time to reflect back and think about those habits and actions that were rewarding to us for this first trimester, as well as those things that we may want to change and improve upon to be stronger in the upcoming second trimester.
On Friday, November 15th, SJF students and staff will gather in church to honor our Veterans at a special Veteran's Day prayer service. All are welcome to attend.

This week we are beginning Chapter 5 in our Blest Are We book. This chapter discusses the Kingdom of God. We will be discussing the meaning, the growth, and the value of creating the Kingdom of God here on earth. This chapter focuses on our responsibility to reach out to all people, especially to those who are less fortunate than we, demonstrating love, compassion, and mercy. We will also be discussing the corporal and spiritual works of mercy.

***8th Grade Religion***

This week we will be discussing chapter 7 in our Morality book. This chapter discusses the importance of family life. Family members are those who accept us, love us, and forgive us no matter what, simply because we belong to them and they belong to us. We will be discussing the values and virtues learned at home and how we carry those values and virtues with us as we go out into society to become a part of a larger community.
