Our 8th Graders recently celebrated the bittersweet ending of their middle school years during the annual 8th Grade Moving Up Ceremony, under the big tent on Leggett Field. Students shared poignant personal reflections about how much they have changed in just a few years and they also expressed thanks to their Middle School teachers, advisors, mentors, coaches, and of course their families and friends. They also heard words of encouragement, praise, and wisdom from several speakers including Middle School Principal Jonathan Davis, 8th Grade Class Dean Alison Miller, and Upper School Principal Kim Lalli. CONGRATULATIONS and CHEERS to the Class of 2028!
