All Middle School students signed the social contract which will guide them this year.

Middle School Social Contract  

Philosopher Jean-Jacques Rousseau is famous for believing that in civilized society, freedom and the ability to reach goals rests on the idea of a social contract. Middle School students met this week to create their own social contract to guide and evaluate their actions throughout the coming school year.

Small groups first met in homerooms to brainstorm. Then each grade sorted and consolidated suggestions into lists which representatives Kent Hanlon '18, Charlotte Roch '18, Cassidy Santos '17, Jamie Frost '17, Sabrina Dumas '16 and Austin Marsilia '16 merged into a final contract during a "constitutional convention". The result:

• Make the best of everything.
• Always strive for excellence.
• Treat others as you want to be treated.
• Be respectful, be responsible, be positive.
