Dear Eighth Grade Families,
Hello and welcome to the beginning of another wonderful school year! Our energetic team is excited to provide each child an eighth grade year full of growth and discovery.
On Friday, September 10, our eighth-graders will take a field trip to ZipZone Outdoor Adventures. This will be a memorable team-building experience, cultivating essential life skills of communication, collaboration, critical thinking and creativity. Students will need to wear closed-toe shoes, long pants – no yoga pants, please – and school-appropriate shirts (no tank tops, “cold-shoulder” or sleeveless shirts). Additionally, students are asked to bring sack lunches (must be nut-free) on the day of our field trip.
This week, students will bring home hardcopies of the ZipZone release form. In order to participate in the ZipZone activities, students will need to have their forms signed and returned to their advisors no later than Wednesday, September 8.
Planning for the traditional breakfast on the morning of our ZipZone trip is in the works. Please watch for an email about this in the coming week.
Thank you, as always, for the support that you provide to your children at home, as together school and home create a wonderful partnership. We look forward to a fantastic year.
Sincerely,
