Our 8th Graders recently celebrated the bittersweet ending of their middle school years during the annual 8th Grade Moving Up Ceremony. During the annual event, held under the big tent at twilight on Friday, June 10, students shared poignant personal reflections about how much they have changed in just a few years. They also expressed thanks to their Middle School teachers, advisors, mentors, coaches, and of course their families and friends. Finally, they 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. The procession of these rising 9th graders was accented with cheers, tears, and laughter. Congratulations to the Class of 2028!
