Eighth Grade
Go in Peace to Serve Others…
This year, our Saint Paschal Baylon School (SPBS) 8th grade class theme is “The 60s!” As part of the SPBS departmentalized junior high, 8th grade is a great year for academic education, spiritual growth, and opportunities!
Students change classes and have different teachers for their academic subjects. We offer Accelerated Classes, as well as a Resource Program and Math Peer Tutoring. In teaching academic subjects we use various methods of instruction: lecture, hands-on projects, class discussions, cooperative group activities, oral presentations, and virtual experiences on the computer, including Power Point.
The 8th grade at SPBS has a comprehensive Christian Service Program and involves the students in Mass planning, prayer services, and numerous class retreats.
Many exciting field trips occur during this special graduation year, such as visits to: a local Court House, the TO Civic Arts Plaza, The Museum of Tolerance, The Ronald Reagan Museum, Ventura Beach, and Magic Mountain. In addition, we involve the students in numerous drama and fine arts opportunities, including participation in various Shakespeare plays.
Our eighth grade students serve as role models for our younger grades. The SPBS Class of 2010 is truly our student body leaders, as these students prepare to graduate from elementary school and move on to high school.
Peace I Leave With You…
