Mrs. Dotty Lewis's Seventh and Eighth Grade at 405 Third Street, Paintsville, KY 41240 US - Seventh and Eighth Grade News!

We hope all our Seventh and Eighth grade families enjoyed their holiday break, which started off with a bang at our school-wide Christmas party on Friday, December 16th!  After caroling throught the streets of downtown Paintsville, our students were treated to a pizza party in the school cafeteria.  The party then moved to the third floor ballroom, where students enjoyed making crafts such as God's eyes, Peppermint wreaths and Reindeer candy canes.  A cake walk/musical chair game and dancing were two other activities enjoyed by all.  A special thank you to school parent Amy C. for providing the music!  And a big thanks to all the parents who sent Christmas themed snacks and assisted with the crafts.  

We anticipate the possibility of school closings due to winter weather conditions in the coming months.  (You should be aware that the children pray for snow quite frequently!)  Please check our local radio stations, including WSIP and K-LITE 93.7 and WYMT TV for school delays and closings.  WYMT's website features a "SNOW-GO" section which is easy to locate and convenient for many of our school families. Due to our extended school hours (15 extra minutes/day), we have several days "banked" to ensure we stay on schedule to dismiss for the summer on May 24th.

Looking ahead -- please note that Monday, January 16th is a school holiday in honor of Martin Luther King Jr. Day.  School will not be in session.  Also, please watch the Thursday Announcements for news regarding Catholic Schools Week which will take place between January 29th until February 4th.  

Don't forget that school resumes on Tuesday, January 3rd!  We wish all our school families a happy and blessed 2012!
