Be a STAR Student!

*There is a new essay contest open to all interested 8th graders! The Emmaus Flag Day Association sponsors an essay contest each year. The topic of the essay should be "What does the American flag mean to me?"

Packets outlining the requirements for the contest are available in Miss Champlin's room.

The deadline for all entries is May 16th, 2012. The deadline is firm as Miss Champlin needs to choose the top 5 essays to submit to the flag day association, and the association will be picking up the essays on the morning of the 18th.

Students who submit essays will earn 10 bonus points in Miss champlin's class, 5 bonus points in Mr. Boyle's class, and 5 bonus points in Mrs. Rauch's class. (*To obtain the bonus points, students must submit essays that convey a respectful tone and that meet the criteria listed in the packet.)

*The students with the top 5 essays to be submitted to the flag day association will receive 15 bonus points in language arts instead of 10.

The key to Being a STAR Student in this class is to work diligently, try your best, and finish well, no matter what!!! The only way to learn your true potential is to give 100%!

This year, we will read not only for enjoyment, but to acquire the skills necessary to be successful for the rest of your life.

Language Arts class will help you learn to effectively communicate with one another.

Simply learning these tools will help you succeed in the "real world" - mastering them will enable you to live up to your full potential, reach for your dreams, and attain them.

Quotes to Enjoy

“Reading a book is like re-writing it for yourself. You bring to a novel, anything you read, all your experience of the world. You bring your history and you read it in your own terms."

^{- Angela Carter}

“We read to know we are not alone.”

^{- C.S. Lewis}

“No matter how busy you may think you are, you must find time for reading, or surrender yourself to self-chosen ignorance.”

^{- Confucius}

“The more you read, the more things you will know. The more that you learn, the more places you'll go.”

^{- Dr. Seuss, "I Can Read With My Eyes Shut!"}

“Once you learn to read, you will be forever free.”

^{- Frederick Douglass}

“It is not enough to simply teach children to read; we have to give them something worth reading. Something that will stretch their imaginations--something that will help them make sense of their own lives and encourage them to reach out toward people whose lives are quite different from their own.”

^{- Katherine Patterson}

“Every man who knows how to read has it in his power to magnify himself, to multiply the ways in which he exists, to make his life full, significant and interesting”

- Aldous Huxley
