This year our 8th grade class has chosen seven workds to define who and what we want to be.

We want to have the COURAGE to dream big dreams, and live life to its fullest. A desire for FAITH in our familieS, friends, teachers, and most importantly God, drives us forward. To show GRACE, especially when we don't want to, is what we strive to do. We attempt everything with an earnest DEDICATION so as not to give up before our full potential is reached. The need to obtain WISDOM pushes us to learm from our mistakes and from what others already know. PASSION is what compels us to put 110% of ourselves into things that are important to us. We endeavor to treat everyone with RESPECT whether they deserve it or not.

These are the ideas we want to define us as a class. We will have a chance to work to become these things on our class trip to Santa Cruz at the end of this year, and at the various other events currently in planning.
