Wow! What a week! The Middle School was buzzing with presentations, and it ended with a great field trip to the Yale Peabody Museum.

First of all, 6th and 7th grade students presented the culmination of a 5-week research project surrounding the theme, Overcoming Obstacles. Students gave 5-15 minute presentations about a notable person or group of people they chose to research that contained interesting graphics, research, and multimedia. The evening was a big success, and all of the students should be proud of the work they did preparing and the bravery they showed delivering a presentation of this scope.

8th grade students gave the first of two Internship Presentation sessions this week. Their unique experiences in diverse fields interested the middle school community. Students spoke about their day-to-day schedule, highlights, challenges, items that surprised them, and an overall reflection on the career as well as the experience.

Finally, Middle School ended the week with a day at the Yale Peabody Museum in New Haven, Connecticut. From dinosaur fossils to ancient civilization artifacts, rare gems and minerals, and an exhibit about the brain, the students had a lot to cover. It was a great way to ease into spring break.

We hope you and your family have a rejuvenating two weeks. We look forward to welcoming you back to school on Monday, 3/24.
