On Wednesday, 8th-graders gathered with their families in Central Moravian Church for our annual Middle School Closing Chapel and Moving Up Ceremony. Our 6th and 7th-graders streamed the service live in their classrooms as we celebrated the end of the school year and the class of 2025.

Ms. Griffin and Mrs. Mindler opened the chapel with these words of encouragement:  "You will not become immobilized by the past and its challenges or miss the triumphs that lie ahead of you. In fact, we believe you will embrace and press on into the future. We have that much confidence in you. Be proud of yourselves and what you have accomplished in this most unusual year." As the service ended, Upper School Director, Mr. Dylan Deal, welcomed our new freshmen to the Upper School.
