END OF SCHOOL NEWSLETTER

I hope you are all enjoying the summer so far!

June flew by with so many exciting end of the year field trips and activities. The 8th grade trip to Philadelphia was a huge success. Field trips were fun for all grades. Students in grade 5 went to Duxbury Beach, grade 6 went bowling, grade 7 went to Rexhame Beach and grade 8 went to Treetop Adventures. On June 10,, fourth graders came to the middle school for a tour and presentations with representatives from the student government council. The exceptional History Fair on June 11 highlighted student work from grades 5 through 8. This event is the culmination of months of hard work. Shout out to lead teacher Ms. Costello and the history teachers at all levels for making this impressive night happen. The 8th grade semi-formal and step-up ceremony were fitting endings for the class of 2028! See photos for highlights.
