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!
