Hello Junior High Families,
It has been another wonderful week in Junior High! Students had fun dressing up for Halloween on Friday, and we even had some adorable trick-or-treaters from our West Deanery schools come to visit. Thank you to everyone who attended the Annual Fund Dinner. It was a fun evening, and we appreciate all the support for Cardinal Ritter!
We have a few exciting things coming up next week in Junior High. Our Work Hard Play Hard (WHPH) reward had to be rescheduled and will now take place on Monday, November 2. This reward will be based on students’ first-quarter grades.
Our 7th graders have also earned an extra reward for their SPECTACULAR first-quarter grades as a class! We are so proud of their hard work and effort. After voting on their reward, they chose an ice cream party. This will take place during our extended advisory next Friday, November 6. Keep up the great work, 7th grade!
The first placement test for our 8th graders is coming up on Saturday, November 7, at 9:00 a.m. 8th-grade families, please take a few minutes to read the 8th Grade section below for more information and important reminders.
November also brings one of my favorite Cardinal Ritter traditions: our Thanksgiving Luncheon! This is a special opportunity for students and teachers to enjoy a Thanksgiving meal together before heading into the long break. I will share more details as we get closer, and we will need volunteers to help make this event a success. More information on how you can help will be coming soon.
We are also starting to look ahead to the holiday season. Our Donuts with Santa fundraiser and Junior High Christmas PJ Party will be here before we know it. I will be sharing more information about both events, along with volunteer opportunities, in the coming weeks. We have lots of fun things planned, and I am excited to celebrate the season with our Junior High students.
I hope everyone has a safe and spooky Halloween weekend! Enjoy the time with your families, and I look forward to another great week in Junior High!
Ms. Leyba
