Eighth Grade Slideshow

8th grade Slideshow

Each year we enjoy watching our 8th graders mature into High School students. We love to celebrate their path and their progress. The end of the Eighth Grade year offers a special opportunity to share and celebrate with pictures and music.

We are asking each Eighth Grade student to participate in the annual Eighth Grade Slide-show by submitting  two pictures. This is a themed slide-show and the pictures must go along with the theme.

The theme is "watching you grow" and the students must submit a photo of themselves at age 6 or younger, then another present-day picture of themselves holding the first picture.

Students will view last year's slide-show at school so that they will understand what types of photos are appropriate.

There are two ways to submit photos:

1. Email the two photos as email attachments (jpeg is preferred) to Nissa Quill at nissa.quill@fcps.org. Save the photos with your child's full name and put your child's full name and the words "eighth grade slide-show pictures" in the subject line. (ex. "jane smith eighth grade slide-show pictures"). The better quality the photo, the better they will look in the slide-show.

 OR

2. Send the childhood photo to school with your child on  May 5th (Career Day) OR May 27th (Unity Day Spring Carnival)  and they will have their childhood picture scanned and the second photo will be taken of them holding the childhood picture. This will be done after the Career Day presentations on May 5th or during the Unity Day Spring Carnival celebration on May 27th.


The final product will be played for our students before/during the Eighth Grade picnic in June and will be made available online through onetruemedia.com. After the picnic, you can view, download, or purchase a dvd of the slide-show through the website.

Que Pasa? Qu'est-ce qui ce passe?

What's going on? We are preparing for CRES tests next week in French I and Spanish I. Spanish students also have to turn in their country projects.

Finally, students will take the chapter assessment in the computer lab on Wednesday or Thursday.
