✨ Middle School Tour Day! ✨ This week, 5th graders got a sneak peek at what’s ahead with a special tour of the middle school! Guided by friendly 7th graders and staff, they explored classrooms, met teachers, and visited key areas like the gym, cafeteria, library, and music rooms. The elementary students were full of curiosity and excitement—asking great questions to our 6th grade panel and imagining themselves as future middle schoolers. They especially loved seeing the lockers and learning about all the fun electives and clubs they’ll soon be able to join! A huge thank-you to the middle school team for making students feel welcome and inspired for the next step in their journey. 💫 #FutureMiddleSchoolers #SchoolTransition #ExcitedForNextYear
