Middle School Bonding Day
Middle School Bonding Day is an important tradition at the beginning of each school year where our middle school grades take a day away for fun games and activities to help them bond as a class.
This year, sixth grade traveled to Brandywine Red Clay Alliance, seventh grade to Bellevue State Park, and eighth grade to Fox Point State Park.
