DASH 2 (typically 7th Grade) Students
**The purpose of DASH 2 is to focus on Jesus as a person through the New Testament (parables and miracles) & Moral Decision Making
**At specific times Confirmation will be a strong theme, though each session is about Confirmation preparation because it is all about learning to be a better disciple.
**See below for other expected Confirmation components which are separate from DASH sessions but part of Confirmation preparation.
For 2025-2026 year there are 2 options.
1)18x a year on Sundays from 5 – 6:30pm.
2) 18x a year on Wednesday from 5 – 6:30pm.
Students are asked to commit to a specific classtime. But, as our absence policy allows for 1 miss per semester, this year we are working to allow students to, on occasion, swap days in order to not be absent. Due to classroom space, it is much easier to swap from Wednesday to Sunday. There will be a few spots kept aside on Wednesday to allow for students to swap to that day.

EXTRA THINGS –outside of classtime- TO COMPLETE for this level:
1) “All about Me/Name Project” parent & child project Template given to students via Google Classroom.
2) “Catholic Role Model” (aka Sponsor choice) reflection (w/parent help) due in Spring. The template will be given to students via Google Classroom.
3) Possible Scripture Reflection: How the Bible is still relevant today via Google Classroom.
4) Ministry Project Options Open attachment and find the link at the bottom to turn in your child’s top 3 options
- These choices are a way to lead students to experience different prayer styles and prepare them for their prayer time in DASH 3. These are personal (some family) faith experiences that are done outside of DASH, and outside of Mass, that boost their faith/prayer life.
- Students will choose different Faithboosters from the list and share a reflection in Google Classroom. Family Faithboosters are ideal, but many are individual. Aside from a movie choice or reading a book which will be longer, each experience should be about approximately 1 hour.
- Please read the above attachment to learn more about options this year (1 awesome event vs 8 Faithboosters.)
