Dear Eighth Grade Parents/Guardians and Students:
The 8th grade class will be having its annual class picnic and rehearsal for the moving-up ceremony on Friday, June 9, 2017. Our barbeque will be held at West Hollow, in our very own backyard!There will be a variety of activities available to students. Among the planned activities will be DJ entertainment, an inflatable obstacle course, inflatable human foosball, inflatable human hungry-hungry-hippos, a photo booth, and a tie-dye station (please bring a WHITE T-SHIRT if you would like to participate). There will also be a dunk tank featuring many of our faculty members where students will be able to purchase a chance to dunk their teacher and principal! Students will be provided with drinks as well as a BBQ lunch. There will be hamburgers/cheeseburgers, veggie burgers, hotdogs, snacks, and desserts. However, students may bring their own lunch if they wish.

The moving-up rehearsal will be held during the morning in the auditorium and gymnasium prior to the start of the picnic. At the conclusion of rehearsal, yearbooks will be distributed to all 8th graders who pre-ordered a yearbook. If you are unsure if you have pre-ordered a yearbook, please check with your advisory teacher as they have received a list of all orders.
