Middle School Field Trips on Monday, May 18th
All Middle School students will be going on field trips by grade to different locations (6th Grade-Downtown Baltimore; 7th Grade- Washington, DC; 8th Grade- Philadelphia) on Monday, May 18th.  Payment to participate in the field trip will be due by next Wednesday, May 13th. The cost is $55.00 per student. We will accept cash or check (payable to Concordia Preparatory School). Please send payment in a marked envelope with your student's first and last name as well as their grade. These can be turned into Mr. Miller or the Front Office. Students who have not submitted payment will not be allowed to attend the trip. Those students should remain at home on that Monday, May 18th, due to Middle School faculty being on the field trips with the rest of the class. Additional details specific to each grade will be distributed via email to families.
 
Chaperones Needed
Concordia Prep staff will lead all three field trips; however, we are seeking family chaperones for all three field trips. Please email Mr. Miller if you are willing to chaperone or if you have questions about what chaperoning entails.
 
Eighth Grade Affirmation Service on Friday, May 29th
The Concordia Prep Eighth Grade Affirmation Service will be held on Friday, May 29th at 6:00 p.m. on campus in Saints Gym. During this service, we will have the opportunity to affirm our 8th Grade students as they prepare to leave the halls of the Concordia Prep Middle School and take the next step in their lives – moving on to the Concordia Prep Upper School or attending high school elsewhere. This service honors the role that God and family have played in the physical, intellectual, emotional, social, and spiritual growth of each student. It gives all of us an opportunity to acknowledge God’s hand in all aspects of our lives, but especially in the lives of our soon-to-be high school students.
 
All 8th Grade students should attend the Affirmation Service. It is expected that the students come to this service in clean, neat, and modest attire. Young ladies should wear a skirt and blouse or a dress. Young men should be in dress slacks, an Oxford-style shirt, and tie and should not wear jeans, polo shirts, or sneakers. Students should plan to arrive by 5:30 p.m. and report to the Cafeteria.
 
There should be ample room for all guests attending this service, so there will not be a limit to the number of invited guests. A light reception will follow the service. We hope that you will plan to stay for a few moments to congratulate each of our 8th Grade students on a job well done while attending Concordia Prep Middle School.
