Today our middle school invited all of the grade 5 students to come to the MS to participate in Bridge Day. Throughout today, our grade 6 students and teachers engaged in a range of experiences with the grade 5 students. Our goals for the day were to make our upcoming MS students feel welcomed, supported, and have them meet a wide variety of our students and teachers. Over the course of the day, students from grade 5 and grade 6 were mixed together to participate in learning experiences, acquaint themselves with our MS learning spaces, and to have a chance to socialize together.
Having visited all the sessions today, and spoken with many of the ES kids, it was evident that the participants had a great day! I would like to extend sincere thanks to our grade 5 and grade 6 teaching teams for their active participation in the day, and to Peter Assimakopoulos, and Karen Kinsella, for organizing today!
