Welcome! - September 8, 2015

Welcome parents and students to a new year.  I am excited to get to know everyone and to join Beautiful Saviour Lutheran School. It is my privilege to teach grade 7/8 this year and it is my intent to create a safe, healthy learning environment for the students.

During the first day of school the students will have chapel at 11:00, which parents are invited to attend. Our theme this year is "Journey with Jesus", each class will have an opportunity to respond weekly to  what is taught.  Make sure to check out the school website weekly to find out what is happening at the school. I will be sending some information home regarding the Practical Arts program that runs every day 5 of the Louis Riel School Division.  The first one will be Monday afternoon (Sept. 14th). You will also receive a note about the use of devices in the classroom.

Bible - We will read and study the book of Genesis.
7 Math - We will learn how to create and find coordinates on a graph.
