End of the year

By -
Thanks for a great year! As a middle school team, we feel blessed that we get to interact with your children. We'll miss them over the summer and for our 8th graders as they head off to high school. 

As we all relax this summer, one of the best things you can do to help your child keep learning and growing is to encourage summer reading. Our school participates in the Scholastic Reading Challenge, so be sure to log your minutes. Each middle schooler made a list of 5 books they would like to read over the summer. If he or she is looking for other ideas, feel free to check out any of the sites below! 

Have a wonderful summer. 
The middle school team

The 7th and 8th grade had the chance to hear from some of our students from last year! We talked a lot about being ready for high school and what skills would be helpful for our middle schoolers, regardless of what high school they choose. Thanks so much to our 9th graders for this great information! Feel free to talk to your child about what he or she learned.
