Hi 6th,7th & 8th Grade,
As we begin the Advent season, may we carry the light of the 1st candle we lit in our hearts as we go through this week. The ICS Family will begin Advent with a short prayer on the hour/every hour to remind us of the reason for the season. It would be nice for the students to share this prayer with their families. The 8th grade will concentrate on vocab review for the High School entrance test. The 7th and 6th grade will begin a new Vocab unit.

Here's a look at the ADVENT SEASON: May you and your family come together in prayer as you light the first candle of the advent season.
