8th Grade - Appropriate Dress for May Crowning

This subject was covered extensively for graduation pictures and Confirmation. However, since the students do not wear robes for May Crowning, here are a few gentle reminders about appropriate dress for this very special day!

 

Girls

First of all, please know that robes will be available for anyone not appropriately dressed. Emphasis is on crowning Mary; dress should be modest and appropriate as we honor HER.

• NO strapless/spaghetti straps—shoulders MUST be covered.
• NO low cut necklines.
• Skirts should be no more than 2 inches above the knee.
• Wear comfortable shoes; if you can’t walk in them, don’t wear them.

BOYS

• Suits are preferable, but definitely dress shirt and tie.
• Dress shoes—no gym shoes.

For the remainder of the week, (Wednesday on,) the students will be working on a "Religions of the World" project in both 8th grade homerooms. Each student will pick a religion (other than Catholicism) to study and present to the class. We will learn about different customs/beliefs in each religion, and compare them to our own religion.  Students will also write a 5 paragraph essay about their chosen religion.

Students will receive information regarding this project on Wednesday, April 24th. It will be due on Monday, April 29th.

Happy Researching!
