Welcome 8th Graders

8th Grade Transition

Tonight we kicked off our transition with our new 8th grade students! We started the off with dinner...it was a great chance to get to know our new students by getting to know one another. We then split up the night talking with the 8th grade parents while playing games in the student center. It was pretty wild playing egg toss with that many high school students, mystery buckets, and a giant game of fish bowl. Great night had by all.

For those who couldn't make it here's a little info to help in the transition.
