Eighth Grade

Eighth-grade middle school students reach the culmination of their St. Odilia career during this year. As a result, preparation activities for transitions to high school occur. Specifically, the Minnesota Basic Standards Tests are administered, high school representatives visit, a Parent's Appreciation program is created, and students attend a problem-solving retreat at Eagle Bluff. In the religion program, students develop their personal relationship with God through prayer, service, a discussion on moral issues, and social justice.
