8th Grade Advisory Competes in Holiday Trivia

The 8th grade advisories had a little friendly competition this week with a holiday theme. Students put their heads together over a trivia contest with questions about anything from Christmas movies to Hannakuh music, Kwanza festivities and more. Some of the trivia even asked questions about faculty members‘ favorite holiday traditions. They ended their time with a presentation of student-created posters that showcased a theme developed by each of the advisories—a way to unite the students as a group. Overall, the students enjoyed the time together, and it provided a great segue to the winter break!
