Sixth-Graders Bring Storybooks To Life for Lower School Kids

Each sixth-grader wrote a script based on a favorite story, and the best ones were acted out. When they needed extras for a play, such as in the scene at left, members of the audience were happy to oblige. |

Field Day
Lets Students Be Joyous and Frolic in the Sun |
|
|
|
|

|
|
If you were wondering why the sun came out on Thursday morning, it was because the Beginning School students were planning to have a field day on the varsity athletic field. Although the theme this year was Wacky Water Games, they didn't need it falling from the sky. Fifth-graders led the games, which ranged from carrying buckets of water through an obstacle course to playing four-square volleyball. The purpose of the annual event, according to PE teacher Scott Corris: "Let them be joyous and frolic." See more photos. |
