8th Grade ELA Students Continue to Be Reading Buddies

Since reading to the Littles for March is Reading Month was a hit, we were asked to come back!! 8th graders read once to their Reading Buddies in the month of April, and we will go again in May! What an awesome experience to witness the interaction between the elementary students and the 8th graders!  

The 8th Grade Social Studies M-STEP begins on Tuesday, April 23, 2024. Students have been working hard, reviewing 7th-grade history and preparing group presentations to summarize 8th-grade units to their students. They have a wealth of resources at home to practice and prepare in advance of the test, and help us cheer them on next week!

Summer Programs for Teens 

Whether it’s an overnight pre-college program, a local day camp, or a sleepaway adventure experience, summer programs for teens are great for pursuing new interests, improving existing skills, and making new friends outside of the classroom. 

On this page, we’ve collected and curated some of the best summer programs for students in middle and high school. These one-of-a-kind programs come in all shapes and sizes — some are academically focused, others are skills-based, and still others are similar to a traditional summer camp experience. However, all of these programs offer vital enrichment opportunities for teens to expand their horizons.
