First Eighth Grade Capstone Showcase Set for May 12

On Tuesday, May 12 the Capstone Showcase will celebrate 8th graders’ completion of two major academic capstone projects: the Memoir Project and the Social Action Project (SAP). Additionally, some of the students will have alternative energy projects on display from science, and there will be an 8th grade art display in the gallery to kick-off the evening. Family members are encouraged to attend the event, which will feature personal student-led readings and reflections from the memoir project as well as group presentations from the Social Action Project.

“Each student has worked incredibly hard on these two major academic endeavors, both of which began in October,” says head of middle school Jamey Hein. “The Capstone Showcase will allow each student an opportunity to share work from throughout the year and take pride in his or her academic accomplishments before finishing middle school.”

The event will start at 6:00 p.m. with light refreshments in the dining room. Presentations will take place in classrooms and the theater until 9:00 p.m.
