8 Social Studies - We are heading out west and studying the Cattle Kingdom, Mining, and the Railroads. So far we have seen technology advance us as a nation, rejuvenate us economically after the Civil War, and - unfortunately - bring an end to the ways of life for many of the original inhabitants of the Great Plains and beyond. We will have a chapter test as we wrap this chapter in the upcoming weeks.
- Video - still need pictures from several 8th grade students, please get those to me.

If any parents or families have something that they would like to donate, please send it to school with your student or drop it off at the front office. Thank you!
