Did you know that there is a parasite that is found in cats that has infected more than three million Americans? Are you aware of Mao’s involvement in the Korean War? How about the trajectory of Jimi Hendrix’s career? Or that Jean Paul Gaultier created a fashion show entirely out of bread products? Were you aware that there is a connection between the Super Bowl and modern slavery? Have you ever been curious about what different layers there are inside Doc Marten shoes? Or the difference between graffiti and street art?
These are only a few of the very interesting things that the 8th graders have been learning about as they research and write their 8th grade projects. Next week, all their work will culminate in an evening of information and presentations here at school. You are invited to come check out their presentations– including some impressive 3D projects– on next Tuesday evening, April 28th, from 6-7pm. Eighth grade parents are especially invited, but all parents and students are welcome. The projects will remain on display in the morning for the rest of the Middle School students, and they will also be in the front and upstairs hall for a few weeks. Please come and check them out!
