ELA

The sophomores are in the middle of Novel Study Literature Groups right now. Each group chose a book and has been reading and working together to analyze characters, vocabulary, point-of-view, and text structure each day as they complete their reading. In these groups they also practice having formal, productive discussions with their peers.

 

The juniors and seniors in Modern Literature just wrapped up reading In Cold Blood by Truman Capote (about the murders in Holcomb, KS in 1959) and are writing a research paper on whether they believe that nature or nurture determine who a person becomes and what their personal values are as an adult. Students will use both the scientific evidence that they find as they conduct research as well as evidence from the book to prove their stance on this issue.

 

THE REAL ACT at SFT

SFTHS hosted the real ACT test on Tuesday, February 28th for SFT juniors.  This is the free statewide ACT testing date.

KAY has busy spring:

On January 10th, KAY delegates headed to St James Academy for their Area Unit Conference. Members had opportunities during this conference to meet with other service-interested peers, listen to speakers regarding leadership & service, and take part in a service project as a large group. The day is a great opportunity for our students to ignite their drive to develop as leaders and bring service experiences for all SFT students. Delegates also learned the theme of the 2023 KAY Leadership Camp which will be July 24-28 at Rock Springs Ranch. Students are encouraged to attend KLC and learn about ways to enhance their personal and leadership lives.  Parents & students may contact KAY Sponsor, Mary Burgett, for KAY camp information.
