Eighth Grade

Eighth graders are truly going to enjoy their last year at St. Rose of Lima!  Fun-filled activities throughout the year will make it a memorable one.  In my class, they will once again read exciting books, and I will send them off with an 'impeccable' vocabulary.  We will fine tune their writing skills and prepare them for high school!
