 Harborhill Art DisplayEighth-graders will have their artwork displayed through the end of May in the gallery at Atria Harborhill, a senior assisted living community at 159 Division Street in East Greenwich. Seventh-graders introduced themselves to the residents at Harborhill on Wednesday. With an eye towards developing a long-lasting relationship with the facility, the students spent the morning having wonderful conversations with many of the residents. A 103-year-old resident shared that she went back to high school late in life and graduated when she was 69. Our students compared and shared interests, places they have traveled, and what they like about school. Anessa Petteruti '17 and Abby Siegel '17 impressed the residents and classmates by playing a duet on the piano, as well as two solo piano pieces by Chopin and Debussy. It was a wonderful visit and the students are already looking forward to their next trip to Harborhill. Middle School Dance
