Our eighth-graders visited Upper School for “Dessert and Discussion,” spending time with 28 tenth- and eleventh-graders over ice cream treats.
The older students began by recounting a personal experience in the Upper School, and then the members of the Class of 2016 had the opportunity to ask their questions about what they should expect. The discussion ended with the Upper school students sharing their advice.
As the parent of a freshman, I can readily appreciate some of the questions that eighth-grade students (and their families) have about the “step-up” to that next grade, and this was a wonderful occasion for them to benefit from the experiences of these Upper School “veterans.”
