It’s Graduation Time!
If your student is graduating from eighth grade here are some facts you need to know
1. Graduation pictures on April 11, 2013 (boys – white shirts and ties, girls – standard dress code as we will provide an appropriate collar for them, graduation caps will be worn so please style hair appropriately)
2. Start collecting those special stories and pictures of your child throughout their lives as one of the many highlights of a Carden graduation is a walk down memory lane for each student from their parents point-of-view. (instructions will be forthcoming)
3. Mark you calendar for May 22, 2013. The graduation ceremony will immediately follow an invitation only dinner served to us by the seventh grade class. Invitations will arrive with your students graduation pictures.

Holocaust Education Opportunity
When: April 8th, 2012
Where: 7th grade classroom
Time: 3:45PM – 5:15PM
Other: This class is open to parents of Carden students. It is geared towards 8th grade parents so that they can become familiar with the curriculum used in the 8th grade Holocaust unit. All parents, faculty and staff are welcome.
Over the last seven years Mrs. Livingood has worked to create an in-depth holocaust curriculum geared towards 8th graders. She has worked closely with the United States Holocaust Memorial Museum and the Jewish Education Federation of Southern Arizona, attending numerous seminars and conferences gaining insight from other educators around the nation. She also received her degree in Modern European History with an emphasis in Germany and Nazi Politics. All of these aspects are tied into this curriculum in an effort to promote justice with grace and political understanding.
Through this curriculum students are presented with the facts of the holocaust. They are asked to analyze and reflect on, not only on the horrors of the victims but also perpetrators, resisters, and bystanders. Primary sources are used but every effort is made to make sure age appropriate sources are used.

Students are not allowed to attend class and this is NOT a requirement for 8th graders!
