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
