The Jr high ended their first week at school with
a Getting to Know Each Other” activity. They were split into groups
– three 7th graders and three 8th graders. While in their groups,
they listed what they had in common and what they didn’t. Groups
then made a poster entitled “We Choose to Succeed”, listing six ways they
could help each other succeed for the school year. They got to color,
glue and design. After sharing their finished posters, they
enjoyed ice cream and brownies provided by the 8th grade Teen Living Class.
All 4 photos are from that activity and submitted by Rene’ Eckert. Click
