8th Grade Affirmation News

Dear 8th Grade Parents and Guardians,

 

It is hard to believe that we are rapidly approaching the end of another school year – a very special year in the life of your student because this year marks the end of one educational experience and the beginning of another.

 

This has been a year of growth in the academic, social, and physical arena. Most importantly, it has been a year of growing in faith and knowledge of our Lord. We praise God for His gifts of growth!

 

Very shortly, we will have the opportunity to affirm the students of the CPS 8^th grade class as they leave the halls of the Concordia Prep Middle School and take the next step in their lives – moving on to the high school experience either by continuing at Concordia Prep or attending elsewhere. A Service of Affirmation to celebrate the Concordia Prep 8^th grade class is scheduled for Friday, May 31st, 2024, at 6:30 pm at Immanuel Lutheran Church, located at the corner of Loch Raven Boulevard and Belvedere Avenue. Immanuel has a handicap-accessible entrance by the north lot on Loch Raven Blvd. This Service of Affirmation honors the role that God and family have played in each student's physical, intellectual, emotional, social, and spiritual growth. It allows us to acknowledge God’s hand in all aspects of our lives, especially in the lives of our 8th-grade students at Concordia Prep.

 

All 8th-grade students should plan on attending this Service of Affirmation. The students are expected to come to Immanuel Lutheran Church in clean, neat, and modest attire. Young ladies should wear a skirt and blouse or a dress. Young men should be in dress slacks and a shirt and tie, no jeans, polo shirts or sneakers. Students should plan to arrive by 6:00 pm and report to the Fellowship Hall in the lower level of the Church.

 

There should be ample room for all guests attending this Service. There will not be a limit to the number of guests to the Affirmation Service.

 

A light reception will follow the service in the Fellowship Hall. We hope that you will plan to stay for a few moments and congratulate each of our 8th-grade students on a job well done while attending the Concordia Prep Middle School.

 

To God Be the Glory!!!

 

In Him,

Curtis D. Miller

Middle School Principal
