Seventh Grade

Students participate in a variety of projects, including two science inquiry projects relating to insects and the brain. In religion class, students experience a semester-long Poverty Project to get a small glimpse of living with and surviving poverty. Students also earn a Red Cross certification for CPR as part of health class. A mid-year highlight is a three-day overnight trip to Long Lake Conservation Camp.
