8TH GRADE MOVING UP CEREMONY
Thursday, June 6 at 4:00 pm
We will honor our 8th graders' accomplishments as they move up from middle school. All families are welcome to attend the ceremony and reception. 8th grade students and families should arrive at 3:00 pm. Seniors and juniors should arrive at 3:30 pm. This will ensure enough time to take pictures, to mingle, and to iron out any last minute details. Students should leave LTS at the 12:30 pm dismissal and return at 3 pm. If this is not possible due to distance constraints, please contact Mary Ellen to make arrangements to stay through. 8th grade dress for the occasion is semi-formal: boys are expected to wear nice dress pants, a dress shirt, and preferably a tie; girls should wear a dress, a nice top and skirt or dress pants.

BASKETBALL CAMPS AT LONG TRAIL SCHOOL

Long Trail School will run two basketball camps this summer during the week of July 8-12. Camps are being offered for grades 6-8 and grades 9-12.
