Eighth grade - the culmination of the Mission Parish School experience
- a year of special memories, leadership opportunities, challenging
academics, mixed emotions, and awesome spiritual involvement.
Our eighth grade students use many adjectives to describe this
very important year, but the two repeated most often are "fast"
and "last." The "fast" year flies by with academics, sports, extra-curricular
activities, ministries, retreats, field trips, and many, many milestones.
The months of the "last" year are punctuated with special nostalgic
events etched in our students' memories forever: e.g. the last United
Nations Day, the last Christmas program, the last St. Joseph's Day,
the last Jog-A-Thon, the last school Mass. The students relish each
of these moments but also enjoy many new eighth grade experiences.
The eighth grade students play a vital leadership role on many
of the special Mission School days. They share their talents during
school masses, daily assemblies, the Read-a-hon, and food collections
for the poor to name but a few eighth grade ministries.
Students love their field trips to local high schools and the end
of the year trip to Disneyland.
Most importantly, the students continue to understand the importance
of their ongoing spiritual journey through journal writing and Lenten
projects. The retreat days, Love and Life Day, and the Marian Celebration
also help emphasize the role of faith in their everyday lives.
Finally, after an amazing year, our eighth grade students are
ready to graduate and are fully prepared to meet the many challenges
that lie ahead.
