The 7th and 8th graders have an opportunity to listen to a Holocaust survivor David Faber on Thursday, October 1, at Fargo South.  This is an amazing opportunity that the next generation will not be able to experience! 

Following are some notes and helps to use when preparing for the country identification quizzes that will accompany each unit in geography this year.

1. Be sure to use the UNIT Regional Atlas and not the maps in the reference atlas at the front of the book. The unit maps give you the exact countries you need to know for each quiz.

2. Use any/all of the websites listed below to make studying easier and more fun. Be sure to have permission and note that there may be some questionable pop-up ads that appear. All the sites were up and running the middle of September when the URL's are typed in correctly. Have fun and study at the same time!!!!!

Just a reminder that our Christian team-building field trip is tomorrow.  Please have your child at school no later than 8:05, armed with a jacket, water bottle, cold lunch, and beverage.  Sunscreen and bug repellent are recommended.  Our expected return time is 3:15.  Look for pictures of this fun excursion by Friday!

Welcome back, all former 6th graders-turned-7th graders!  Welcome back to your parents as well.  We're excited to catch up with you and start the new year!  It's going to be an awesome one!
