Hi!
Pine Cobble School (PK-9): Nine days before graduation, the 9th grade
takes a one-week trip to Costa Rica. The day they return, a Wednesday, the
6th-8th grades have day-long class trips, culminating in an all-school
(picnic. Thursday: half day, with all-school awards ceremony. Friday: half
day, graduation.
Stoneleigh-Burnham School (7-12): Our May traditions in the middle school
include all-school "Spearth Day" (service in the morning, a sort of fair
in the afternoon) and "Founders Day" (like a field day with a movie added
in). Then, during the last week, we have a Six Flags trip, the final
performing arts show of the year, and a Moving Up ceremony. The Seniors
have their own schedule, but that's probably different than what you're
looking for.
Take care,
Bill Ivey
Stoneleigh-Burnham School
