Mission For The Class
The goal in seventh grade is to become responsible and respectful young
adults. This goal is achieved by focusing on three key points. The first
point is our religious faith. Without our faith in God we have nothing. We
try to live our lives with Christ as our model. The second point is our
pursuit of knowledge. This is attained by doing the best we can in school
and at home preparing for the next day. The third point is our
socialization with others; how do we interact and treat people every day.
This includes classmates, students, teachers and staff members, as well as
our parents, aunts, uncles, grandparents and siblings.
This goal is a constant and never ending task, for both students as well as
for the adults in their lives. However, if we all work together to achieve
this goal, we will be very proud of these young men and women.
