St. Gerard School - Grade 8

December has arrived. We are currently working hard to prepare for our annual Christmas concert. We hope to see our St. Gerard family members at the concert on December 19^th.

The grade 8 class has begun a novel study. We are reading “Freak the Mighty” by Rodman Philbrick. They will be completing a book report project Due on January 12^th.

Exams are approaching in January. They will take place between January 23^rd and the 26^th. A review outline will be sent home before Christmas and will be available here on the Blog.

We hope everyone has a very Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year!

We are quickly moving through October, which means our annual Halloween dance party is approaching. We will be holding our festivities on Friday, October 20^th from 7:00 to 10:00 in the evening. Tickets are available from the office, and all of our families are welcome. We just ask that students attend the event along with a parent or guardian.

Student-led conference forms have gone home. Conferences will be taking place on November 2^nd in the evening and all day on the 3^rd. Please indicate your preferred appointment time so that we can schedule your meeting at a convenient time for you.
