Dear Eighth Grade Families,
This week was an outstanding first week of Service Learning! Eighth graders got outside “the Gordon bubble” and started working three hours a day, five days a week at twelve different organizations across our community.
Students are working and learning at:
Amos House
Crossroads Rhode Island
Hennessey Elementary School
Higher Ground International
Highlander Charter School
John Hope Settlement House
McAuley House
Osamequin Farm
Pleasant View Elementary School
Progreso Latino
Providence Children’s Museum
Resources for Human Development
Please make sure to mark your calendars for Thursday, June 6th at 5:30pm for CJ Buckley Experiential Learning Night. On this important evening, all eighth graders will present their learning about their Service Learning work.
The Class of 2019 also started rehearsing for their graduation song this week. A huge thank you to Bill Beaudoin and Susan Hodgin for so much time and effort to prepare the eighth graders for their final performance together.
Field Day and Bike to School Day is set for Friday May, 31st with the following Friday, June 7th as the rain date.
Here are a few pictures from this week.
We look forward to the three and half weeks of school for the Class of 2019. Please reach out to your child’s advisor with any questions between now and and the end of the year.
– Luke, Gabe, Emilia, Irene, and Milly
