Scripture Mastery Contest: Who can complete the verse the fastest?
Go to: http://seminary.lds.org/scripture-mastery/. Click on “Memorize”. Choose one of the first 10 scripture mastery verses from the New Testament. Click on “Next” in the upper right hand corner to go to Step 2. Use the mouse to drag the words from the word bank on the right side to the correct place in the verse on the left side. When you have completed the verse, the timer will stop. Save your fastest time either by printing a paper copy of what’s on the screen, or hitting the “PrtSc” key and then pasting the screen image into a word document or email. If you want to improve your time, feel free to repeat the exercise. There will be cool beans on January 5th & 6th for the person with the fastest time for each scripture mastery verse.

- Read carefully to understand the scriptures.
- Study every day.
- Study in a place where you can concentrate without distractions or interruptions.
- Study for a period of time rather than reading a certain amount of chapters or pages: 60 minutes is ideal, 30 minutes is a great accomplishment, yet 15 minutes can be meaningful also.
- Have a study plan.

Back to School Letter
Seminary Students and Parents,
Just a brief note about Seminary this year:
1. Seminary will begin this Wednesday, August 27th.
2. Class meets from 6:15am to 7:00am every school day except for snow and late arrival days. Please be on time. (Note: Seminary should run 50 minutes each day – we have only 45 minutes. That’s one reason that it’s important to be punctual. FYI, beginning SY 2009-2010, we will begin at 6:10am – you’ve been warned!!)
3. Please make sure you have a set of scriptures every day in class. Other materials will be provided.
4. Scripture Mastery lessons on Friday: We will combine classes on Fridays and work on Scripture Mastery. As part of this, each student will be responsible to teach a 10-20 minute lesson on a chosen Scripture Mastery scripture. Help will be provided and you can partner up and help one another. We’ll discuss this more in class.
5. Sister Lee’s class, juniors & seniors, will meet in the Primary room. Sister Raynor’s class, freshmen & sophomores, will meet in the RS room. The foyer/side doors will be closed at 6:15. After that, please use the doors at the back of these rooms.
6. Make-up work: If students are excessively absent, make-up work will be provided. Make-up work is hour-for-hour in the scriptures or General Conference summaries. (45 minutes for each class missed.) We encourage you to get any make-up work done promptly. We also encourage you to be in seminary every day!
7. Reward Dinner for the summer homework assignment this Friday at 6pm!
We are looking forward to a great year together!
Love, Sisters Lee and Raynor

Dear Seminary Students and Parents:
We are very excited about the upcoming year in Seminary - New Testament. We promise a Spirit-filled year as we study the life and teachings of the Savior and His early apostles.
Because of the large number of students, we will have two classes beginning in August. Sister Raynor will teach the Freshmen/Sophomore class in the RS room and Sister Lee will teach the Junior/Senior class in the Primary room.
There are a few things we'd like you to do this summer in preparation for next year. They are:
1) Highlight all the Scripture Mastery verses in your copy of the New Testament (the one you'll be using in class)
2) Write the keywords/phrases next to the Scripture Mastery verses.
3) Highlight all the JST (Joseph Smith Translation) footnotes in your copy of the New Testament.
4) Read any one of the four Gospels (Matthew, Mark, Luke, or John)
Enjoy your summer! Call us with any questions you have.

The total time necessary for all this is approximately 8-10 hours. An hour each Sunday ought to do it.
Everyone who completes these four summer assignments by the first week of August will be invited to a special luncheon/dinner hosted by Sisters Lee and Raynor. (And we're pretty good cooks!)Enjoy your summer! Call us with any questions you have.
With love,
Sister Raynor (301-845-2562 or sherrie_raynor@yahoo.com)
