Sixth graders are diving into an advertising unit. Early last week they looked up examples of bandwagon, testimonials, transfer, emotional words, and repetition propaganda used in advertising.

Seventh graders ended their last evening away in Portland praying the Luminous Mysteries. What a beautiful sight and opportunity to engage with prayer. They reflected on their time together and thinking of God's greatness under the stars.

Safe travels home to all our middle schoolers!
