It was great to see all of you at Back to School Night! Please let me know if you have any questions or concerns as the year goes on.
Today, junior high had the opportunity to see the canonization mass for Fr. Serra, who started the California missions. It was such a blessing to hear the different petitions in various language and see the diversity of the American people. During the homily, Pope Francis talked about "siempre adelante," which means to "keep moving forward." How fitting it is that we continue to strive to do our best, to do the work that God calls us to do. (Here is a translation of the Pope's homily: http://www.nytimes.com/2015/09/23/us/pope-francis-homily-at-the-canonization-mass-for-the-rev-junipero-serra.html?_r=0) HW: 8 - "Speak" Pg. 84-97 Annotations (7); Vocab Unit 2 Vocab Writing in Action (Pick 1)/Vocab in Context; Vocab Unit 2 Test Fri.; Memorize your section of the prayer service 7 - Write 1 paragraph about a different character from "The Outsiders"; Finish "The Outsiders" Timeline (Ch. 3 Major Events) 6 - Unit 1 PowerPoint due tonight (10 PM) Reminders:
