Happy Friday 7th grade families,

Just a few announcements to get ready for next week.

LEST Spirit Days – will be Thursday, February 9 – Wednesday February 15

All students in preschool through 8th grade are invited to join us in spirit days as we gear up for LEST!

Thursday, Feb 9 – Color Wars – 7th grade choose RED as their color.  Washable hair dye is ok!

Friday, Feb 10 – Sports Spirit: Support your favorite team or represent a sport!

Monday, Feb 13 – Pajama Day – roll out of bed and come in your PJ’s

Tuesday, Feb 14 – Wacky Tacky Day – just use your imagination on this one (the more mismatched and crazy the outfit, the better!)

Wednesday, Feb 15 – Blue and Gold Day – wear our school colors, show your school pride! (Blue & Gold Washable Hair Spray/Gel and face painting OK this day.)

7th Graders have a project for the novel “The Pearl” that they have been working on.  This front page newspaper consists of 4 different articles that relate to the story.  This is due on Wednesday next week.  They will have class time on Monday and Tuesday to work on it, but I did encourage some of them to use the weekend too.  I look forward to seeing these finished projects.

I also want to encourage you to check out our classes page on the website.  I am going to try and do a better job of putting pictures here.  Go to hopeseattle.org and then 7th grade class.

Lastly, thank you for all the treats sent in last week.  The kids did a great job of putting together treat plates and handing them to our neighbors.

Have a restful weekend!
