As we get to the end of the 8th grade year, the 8th graders use some Christian Studies time to talk about things to expect for high school next year. We focus on what high school will be like, what they will experience, and how to be a Christian in the much bigger world high school provides. Starting in mid-April, these "Special Religion Classes" will happen once per week. However, we got an early start on this subject this week. A few seniors at Forest Grove High School, that are alumni of Forest Hills, came by the class Tuesday morning during religion time to talk about things they have experienced in high school. As alumni of our school, they were able to relate to where the 8th graders are at and discuss some of the things they felt were important to our specific situation. This was a part of a high school Senior Project as one of them is considering becoming a teacher. It was a positive and beneficial experience for the 8th graders as some of the "mystery" of high school was revealed by someone who was once sitting in the same spot they currently are.
