LUNCHROOM POLICY: For the middle school only…in the revised handbook pages that were handed out during enrollment day, there was a change in the lunchroom policy. Beginning this school year, students in middle school who sign up to eat school lunch, and then don’t, will be charged half price for that meal. Thank you in advance for helping us make sure our cooks are not going to the trouble and expense of fixing food for students who aren’t eating, and then having to throw it all away. If your student(s) does not plan to eat the school lunch, they need to remember to tell their homeroom teacher each morning when the teachers take lunch count, and then they will not be charged. WASHINGTON D.C. MEETING, 9/16 at 5:30 in Mr. Covert’s room. 8th Grade parents please plan to attend.

These students are our student council representatives for first semester. They are asking all students to dress as a favorite storybook character next Thursday in preparation for Family Fun Night. Mrs. Harbeson: It seems that everyone is back into the swing of school. Most everyone has been handing in assignments on time and doing really good work. I want to remind students to stay on top of your assignments; if you are ever absent, it is your responsibility to go to every teacher and find out what you missed. We welcome our new 8th grader, Ronnie Mix, to the First Lutheran family. I have extended the Scholastic book order deadline to this Friday, Sept. 12. The easiest way to order is to click on the link from my bulletin board. 6th Grade, your Camp Lutherhoma forms and money are due today, Wednesday, Sept. 10. If you forgot to bring them, get your information to me ASAP! I will be gone this Thursday for my first Tec 21 class so I will have a substitute that day. Be good! That's all for now. Keep seeking Him, First! Mrs. Hanson: I can't stress enough how important my website is! hansonscience.blogspot.com/ Students find assignments and announcements here, parents find the same plus just take a peek at your students school day with pictures, videos, and other information.

Those who return the folders signed on Monday will receive ten extra credit points; those who return them on Tuesday will receive 5 extra credit points. Those who have not yet returned them with signatures on Wednesday will be making phone calls to parents with
me. This is an attempt to help parents understand exactly which concepts are being covered and what your student’s daily work looks like. Thanks for your help with this project.

Time sure does fly. This week we're moving into some new content across the board. 6th grade is learning about the Phoenicians and Hebrews before moving into the more militaristic ancient nations next week. 7th grade is focusing on people of the world, namely culture, population, government, economy, and how it's all connected. In 8th grade we're moving into DC content, and we will learn a little bit about how the government itself functions before we head to DC in two weeks. 8th grade parents: We will be having one last meeting before the trip on Tuesday, September 16th, at 5:30 in the 8th grade classroom.
