The middle school gathered Wednesday for the first assembly of the year. The event was coordinated by middle school director Mr. Kelly and assistant director Ms. Bradley. Eighth grader Lucia Claire served as the MC, with special speeches from eighth graders MyKia Plummer and Oscar Murray touching on themes of connection and togetherness while apart. This was also a chance for teachers and students to honor each other. Students honored sixth grade English teacher Ms. Reed and seventh grade science teacher Ms. Goldstein with Faculty of the month awards. In a new award this year, students were able to nominate their classmates who show positive citizenship. Tiya Demessa won in fifth grade, Christopher Amaya-Camacho won in sixth, Musa Abbas won in seventh, and Hugh Bakel won in eighth due to their peers’ votes. Teachers also awarded merits to students who set positive examples in their classrooms for hard work, patience, persistence, and kindness. Fifth graders Francisco Blanco and Nora Paxson, sixth graders Kayode Elion and Avis Weeden, seventh graders Maisie Sommer and Lola Orlove-Rodriguez, and eighth grades Wyatt Mitchell and Eamon Price all earned merits.
