A Spirit of Thankfulness
As we prepare for the Thanksgiving holiday, the Middle School is working to support and demonstrate a spirit of thankfulness to our community. The 'Canstruction' that wrapped up last week resulted in a donation of over 2000 cans just from middle school students. Students in the Middle School loved trying all of the wonderful soups during our annual Soup Day; we are helping with the schools' Flag the Lawn fundraiser supporting our veterans; and finally, our annual Angel Tree Drive begins next week, helping those less fortunate in our area. These are all wonderful opportunities for students in the Middle School to help lead and recognize the importance of being thankful and helping others.
This week, our sixth grade students had the opportunity to visit the Vero Beach Museum of Art and experience Roadside Reverie, an exhibit of glass works depicting fast food favorites by John Miller. The sixth grade visited the museum to support their recent projects in art class, and they enjoyed lunch in the park together. Our eighth graders are currently on the annual Washington, D.C., trip, learning about the history of the United States and the inner workings of the United States government. This is a wonderful educational opportunity and a special trip for students.
With the end of the first semester fast approaching, now is a good time for students to organize themselves and think about their preparation for culminating projects and exams. Eighth graders, as well as any student in Algebra I or higher math, will take exams in the gym with the Upper School. Sixth and seventh graders will wrap up the semester with final assessments for their current unit of study. Teachers will review this information with them when we return from the Thanksgiving Break, as they help them get organized for the end of the semester.
