Happy Halloween from the Middle School!
Students are enjoying a busy but exciting week in the Middle School. We started with students hearing from two guest speakers after chapel on Monday, Renee Bireley from the Samaritan Center and Scott Turner from the Food Pantry of Indian River County. Both spoke to students about the power of giving and the impact St. Edward's School has on the people their organizations serve. Our annual Soup Bowl event supports the Samaritan Center, and the 'Canstruction' competition serves to donate much-needed food to the Food Pantry of Indian River County. These speakers demonstrated to students the real-world impact of their participation in these events.
Later on Monday, our eighth graders shared short skits from Romeo and Juliet for the middle school students. They did a great job and it was fun for the sixth and seventh graders to watch. On Wednesday, we had our fall athletic awards assembly. It is hard to believe we are already starting the winter season, but it was wonderful to recognize the accomplishments of our fall athletes. On Thursday, we had the annual Lower School Halloween Parade, and our middle school students supported them by wearing their Lid Gig decorated hats when they lined the hallways. In the afternoon, we grilled out before students completed their 'Canstruction' creations and then enjoyed an afternoon of games and activities. It was a great way to cap off the week!
Finally, we have conferences on Friday and then the Met Gala, Middle School Dance, on Saturday, November 2. I want to thank Nalini Singh, Sarah Whitelock, Manuel Santelices and the Middle School Student Council, and all of the parent volunteers for their hard work in making this event happen. We are all looking forward to a fun night!
I hope you have an enjoyable and safe Halloween night with family and friends.
