D.C. Field Trip
The 8th grade learned many things on the D.C. field trip. From the history, greek, science and literature trivia on the bus ride to the D.C. scavenger hunt tour with Mrs.Cockerham, our minds were filled with new interesting facts. Finishing up with another fun svcavenger hunt in the Air and Space Museum with Mrs.McManus, made the day end well. This field trip was excellent and we all learned so much. Can't wait for the next one!!

The fun Harvest Party was held at the Upper School on Friday, October the twenty-second. We line-danced, played flashlight tag and star tipping. The food was delicious and fitting to the mood. We enjoyed chips and salsa, brownies, pumpkin muffins, and more. We were able to talk to our friends and enjoy the time spent with each other. If you missed out on all the excitement from this school party, make sure you come to the next one because it will be loads of fun!
