Morning Assembly
Four mornings a week, the Upper School community gathers in the assembly hall. Morning assembly serves the purpose of taking attendance and sharing important announcements but is also a time for community sharing and celebrating. Several times a week, students will give short musical or dance performances during assembly or participate in fun activities such as class games or friendly competitions such as "Brain Bowl," "Polylopsicle", and other games and contests.
