A Note from the Principal:
Dear SJE Parents,
I am so proud of our eighth graders. They began working on their Justification of Graduation back in February. This project is a hallmark of our students' eighth grade year. It is, perhaps, inaccurately named. It is not really the goal of this project to justify anyone’s graduation. Instead, working with a teacher mentor, each of our eighth grade students think about who they have become during the first fourteen years of their lives. They explore their relationships with their families, friends, and faith. They consider who they hope to grow into during the next four years and beyond.
Speaking in front of a group comes easily to some of our students and is a challenge to others. That is perfectly fine! We understand that each of our students comes to us with different gifts. It is the job of our mentors to identify the gifts of each student, and to help them use them to complete this challenging project. In my twelve years at SJE, no eighth grader has failed to complete their Justification of Graduation. This year’s class is no exception. These students have worked and worked and then worked some more. They have written and memorized speeches, created and polished PowerPoints.
After all of this work, each student will stand in front of their teachers, family, and at least one or two complete strangers, and tell us who they are, and who they hope to become. What a wonderful way to head off to high school.
Growing in God’s Love,
Mary Laidlaw Otto

This will be a family friendly event, beginning with an explanation of the experiences of the children at Fatima with the Blessed Mother. We will pray a decade of the rosary together, and end with a treat for all.
During our Fatima celebration, we will be raffling off a statue of the Blessed Mother. Tickets are 50 cents each. The proceeds will be used for future events supporting the faith development of our students.
