 ConnectionsThe 8th grade students renewed their connection with the residents at the Atrium at Harbor Hill in East Greenwich on Thursday. Students shared stories with the residents and learned about one another. One significant moment occurred when Madeleine Hirsch '17 and Alejandro Perez '17 asked a resident where she was from and she shared that she was from Austria. She was a Holocaust survivor and came to the United States at the age of 17 in 1933. What a remarkable moment for all involved. CongratulationsAbby Siegel '17 received High Honors and a State Award for her 2012 Spatial Test Battery scores and High Honors and a State Award for her 2012 ACT score. She was awarded a One Course Scholarship to Bryant University based on these results.
