Middle schoolers at Second Street took part in the fourth and final assembly of the year, focusing on the theme of growth. Seventh grade English teacher Ms. Peale reflected on her father’s impact on her life, and eighth grader Giselle spoke about internal and external growth and learning independence. Other highlights of the assembly included the sixth, seventh, and eighth grade Latin teachers sharing winners of the National Latin exam. Students also took the chance to shout out their peers for being supportive friends. Finally, teachers in each grade shared the winners of this month’s merits. The assemblies allow students and faculty a chance to assess the previous quarter, think about relationships and honor effort and growth.
