CONFIRMATION CLASS
8th Grade – McDonald House – Upstairs, turn right
Eighth graders are on a spiritual journey learning more about God's message as a Christian and a Presbyterian. The journey culminates in an invitation for students to profess their faith in Jesus Christ and become full-fledged members of Shandon. The winter session will focus on a series of questions that begin: "If I say I am a Christian…" Teachers: Richard Kennette, Linda McDonald, Mary Rogers, Mark Timbes
GRADES 9 – 12

"Questions for Life - Luke's View" by Akaloo. The study begins in the Bible but is propelled into our culture using movies, poetry, music, TV shows and various other media. The class is much more a discussion than a traditional teaching classroom. Students are encouraged to come with an open mind and plenty of thoughts and questions. Teachers: Sandra McKinney, Jennifer & Jesse Raley, Chris & Margaret Yeakel.
