6th Grade Frescos
Each year the 6th graders learn about Michaelangelo as they study Renaissance art and architecture. One of the culminating projects is for the students to actually paint their own fresco, upside down! Take a look at the results.
11th Grade History Presentations
The 11th grade history students were doing presentations this afternoon. Today’s groups focused on Egyptian food, pyramids, and the afterlife. Taste and see:

LOGOS SCHOOL UPDATE - Week 5
General
Fight’n Knight Shirts: We are getting ready to place a final order for more Logos Fight’n Knight shirts. If you are interested, please email Mr. Carnahan at logosad@turbonet.com with your preferred size and number (youth and adult sizes are available). All orders are due this Friday, September 26. This may be a great Christmas present idea for the cousins!
Elementary
*Elementary Speech Meet: Friday, October 24. Selections should be memorized on October 10.
Secondary
Tardy Update: If a student shows up to class without his book it is counted as a tardy, due to the fact that he has to go and retrieve it during class time. Since this adds to the opportunities that a student has to receive a tardy, we have changed the guidelines so that 5 tardies, instead of 3 will result in an office visit (applied retroactively). This should provide a more gracious balance, especially as the inclement weather approaches.
*High Protocol: The juniors and seniors will be attending Phantom of the Opera in Spokane on October 22 for their protocol event this year.
Study Tip for the Week
One helpful way to teach your kids not to procrastinate is to ingrain in them the need to study at least Two Days Out. Two Days Out means studying for Friday’s test on Wednesday and Thursday instead of simply the night before. Studying for predictable subjects like spelling and Latin should be spread over the course of the entire week, but for other quizzes and small tests, especially in the secondary, Two Days Out helps form a pattern of planned investment rather than last minute gambling.

Kindergarten Artists
The Kindergarteners pulled out their paint brushes, filled up their pallets, and dove into their first painting project of the year-in dress uniforms no less. What a great group!
2nd Grade Field Trip
The 2nd graders took a field trip to the Kimmell’s house this week where they worked on leaf and tree identification and leaf painting!
4th Grade Play
The 4th graders put on the play Johnny Tremain last Friday (adapted for the stage by Paula Jones). What a hit!
2nd Grade Geography
The 2nd graders have been learning about Idaho state geography. Take a look at one of their culminating projects!
As you can tell, this was a very stressful project for the 2nd graders.

Preschool 2009-2010: Next year’s preschool class is filling up at a good clip! We currently have five students on the M/W/F list and a few other families that are in the process of applying. If you have any interest in preschool for next year, it may be worth getting your application in early to reserve a spot.
4th Grade Play: This Friday the 4th graders will be performing Johnny Tremain. The assembly will begin with a brief recitation at 8:35 by the 3rd grade class. All are welcome and encouraged to come. Elementary assemblies usually last until 9:15. Lots of fun!

There are a few students who haven’t purchased their Phantom tickets yet. I’d like to encourage you to get that done right away for our planning purposes.
Study Tip for the Week
Encourage your children (1st-9th grade) to begin memorizing their speech meet parts early. The dinner table is a great place to practice. Start by having each child read through his selection, beginning and ending with the title and author. The next night have them recite as much as they can, reading the remainder that has not been memorized yet. By the time the speech meet comes around, the whole family will be ready to hit the stage and perform!

Lines…SPRINT, STRAIGHT, SILENT (clap, clap, clap)!
When the whistle blows up on the playground our expectation is that the elementary students will sprint directly to their classroom lines, that those lines will be as straight as a stick, and that the students will be absolutely silent. Here we are practicing the whole business-and having a great time!
