Pursuing Justice with a Servant's Heart- 8th grade Service and Leadership Exhibition

Proverbs 31:8-9

8 Speak up for those who cannot speak for themselves;

ensure justice for those being crushed.

9 Yes, speak up for the poor and helpless,

and see that they get justice.

8th grade students are creating their first homily presentations. You can find out when your child is presenting here.

Our preparations began during Mini Term; students began brainstorming and discussing social issues in our city, state, country and world. Now we are further developing ideas and thoughts about service and leadership through journal writing, independent reading, hosting guest speakers, participating in service projects and classroom discourse. 

Some questions we are exploring are...

How did Jesus pursue justice?

How can I pursue justice?

How did Jesus serve others?

How can I serve others?

On December 17th we organized toys and clothes at Christ Hospital.
