8th Grade
Relay For Life update: The St. Basil's Relay for Life team was ranked 9th out of 27 teams for funds raised. I am so pleased to say that after all donations are added up we will have reached our goal of $2500. I am so proud of all of my volunteers and especially my 8th graders who came out and helped out at our booth and walked with us, some even in the middle of the night. A very special thank you to all the homeroom moms and parents who contributed to the baskets; which earned our team over $600. We were told many times that our baskets were the best at the relay. Thanks again for all of your help.

Goal
My goal, as the 8th grade teacher, is to prepare your child for high school. To achieve this, I hold him/her responsible for him/herself - the successes and the failures. We all learn from our mistakes as well as from things we do well; however, I want students to accept any consequences of their mistakes without placing blame on someone else.
