8th Grade Expositions 2008

Students completed their 8th Grade Expositions in January, a process that began in September and ended with a final presentation to their peers, parents and faculty. Each of the students researched a person or organization that has made, or is currently making, a significant difference in the lives of others.  Each student was required to interview someone connected with their topic and these interviews became one of the most valuable aspects of the project.  As an example, one student was able to interview Bishop Desmond Tutu as part of her research on Bono. Another student was able to meet with Hugh Auchincloss III, the brother-in-law of President John F. Kennedy.  Mr. Auchincloss was actually able to attend this exposition.  The completion of the expositions is one of the milestones of the students' Middle School experience.
