Great First Week of Seminary!

We survived our first week back to seminary and from my perspective it was great. I LOVE your children and I know we will have a great year together. I am impressed already with how much these youth have to share... AND... they even sing at 6 AM! Thank you for helping to get them there.
We will be having breakfast on the first Friday of the month. If you haven't already signed up, PLEASE volunteer for breakfast this Friday (September 2) or we also need help in November, December, and February. Thank you. There are 17 students in our class and we will start serving breakfast in the cultural hall between 6:20 and 6:30. It works best if you can bring breakfast ready to serve so that we don't disrupt the class that meets next to the kitchen.
I am really emphasizing personal scripture study this year. The recommended reading is 10 minutes each day and they may read out of any of the standard works. If they are interested in receiving the Master Scriptorian award they will need to read the required chapters from the Old Testament. Last week we made a few attempts at having the entire class read the night before...we came close but not quite perfection. We'll be trying again this week. So, any words of encouragement would be helpful.
Scripture Mastery: This week we are working on memorizing Abraham 3:22-23.
We will be studying the plan of salvation and an overview of the Old Testament this week.
The class president this week is Maddi Baugh. Her responsibility will be to prayerfully select the opening hymn and assign the prayers and Insight (Devotional) each day. She will also welcome the class and get us started for the day. Everyone will have an opportunity to serve as the class president for a week.
Hopefully I will have a new class picture posted this week!
Thank you again for getting your teens to seminary.
Don't forget to volunteer to bring breakfast!

WELCOME

Welcome to the Redhawk Junior Seminary Class Blog. A big thank you to those that attended the Fireside last night. It was awesome to see so many families represented!
I will try to post weekly and give an overview about what our class is up to:)
Seminary starts on Monday, August 22. It's a late start Monday and seminary will begin @ 7:15 AM.
We will not be delving into the Old Testament the first week, instead we will discuss our class objectives, the plan of salvation, and introduce the scripture mastery verses. We will be memorizing Moses 1:39 (probably on the first day) and then begin working on Isaiah 53:3-5.
Seminary Breakfasts: I do not know which Friday we will be having breakfasts this year but I'll let you know soon! I still need some volunteers. Please see the chart to the right and let me know if you would be willing to bring breakfast one of those months. Thank You!
Please have your son/daughter bring their scriptures on Monday. Or, if you would like, they can bring them on Sunday and I'll put them in the cupboard. Although we will be studying the Old Testament, each student needs a copy of all 4 standard works.
Lastly, I will have bookmarks and Scripture Mastery CD's with me on Sunday...so please me if you would like one.
I am really looking forward to teaching this year---it's a great group of youth!!! Thanks for all your help!
