We work closely with the 8th-grade Teacher Team Leaders to plan a wonderful school year for our students, including field trips, social activities, and end-of-year events. Some of the events this year include a mixer with SOMS 8th-grade students, the 8th-grade dinner dance, and of course graduation. We will work to keep you informed of the activities and ways for you to get involved
