MOVE UP DAY
Parents and Families of 8th Graders

On Friday, May 24th, 2019, your eighth grader will be taking a bus to BFA for Move Up Day. This is an annual event to introduce eighth graders to the expectations associated with their upcoming ninth grade year. This is always an exciting day. BFA staff and students will be on hand to guide the eighth-grade students through the orientation program. Additionally, it is an opportunity to meet fellow eighth graders from the other sending schools.

Lunch will be provided by BFA. Your eighth-grader will be dismissed from BFA at 2:00 P.M. and will be walking home from there.  If you choose to do so, you may pick your child up at BFA at that time. If you have any questions at all, please feel free to contact your eighth-grade learning community or contact school counselor, Allison Goldsmith, at agoldsmith@maplerun.org or 527-0565 ext. 3874.



PICTURES AND REPORTS



WALKING CONTEST LAP TOTALS
All the walking data from last week is in except for from Team Triumph. Voyagers are solidly in the lead. Discovery will have to hammer to catch up. Other teams will have to aim for 2nd place at this point in time unless they start spending all day on the walking path until the end of the contest. We have just this week and next week to go before the contest ends.



TEAM USA PLANTED FLAGS

Some students from Team USA met up with several military veterans to mark the grave sites of military personnel. They received flags to push into the ground. Memorial day is just around the corner and the volunteer work of these students to highlight military service was most helpful. These pictures show the students and a teacher completing the task.
