A Fond Farewell
Lower Elementary Directress, Heather Rivera, will be moving on to a new school in the fall. Heather has been a wonderful asset to Brickton and we are sad to see her go. We wish her all the best in her new position and we hope she will come back often to visit us!

EDITION TWO

THE 9-12 LUNCHEON
by Mica (5th year) and Declan (3rd year)
The 9-12 Luncheon was on Thursday, May 31, this year. We ate lunch together and affirmed other students and staff members. An affirmation is a compliment you give to a person. We have the Luncheon in the Great Room. Students, teachers, and 9-12 parents join in and celebrate together. 

NEEDS OF PEOPLE
by Julia (5th year)
NOP stands for Needs of People. Every year in 6-9, the third graders choose a topic about an ancient civilization like Incans or Egyptians. Then, third graders go to the library to get their resources. After a couple of months of researching and writing about their topic, the third graders present their presentation in front of the whole 6-9 classroom with their board and research.

ROCK CEREMONY
by Alex (6th year) and Frankie (3rd year)
The rock ceremony is a ceremony we have in 6-9 and 9-12 towards the end of the year. We celebrate kids moving up. We sit in a circle with a lit candle at the center. The kids moving up pick a rock and receive acknowledgements from their classmates. It is the same procedure in 6-9 and 9-12, except when moving up from 9-12, the students receive all their work from 1st through 6th grade.
