Friday night was our first (and hopefully annual) Middle School Boys camp-out. I am going to go ahead and declare the night a huge success! Our first activity involved three SUNY Cortland Basketball players. They took us through several team-building and leadership activities. After dinner (Hotdogs, veggiedogs, Cayuga Lake perch, and potatoes), each grade had their own individual campfire w/smores. After that, Mr. Filzen treated us to some very cool juggling tricks and we finished the night watching Indiana Jones: Raiders of the Lost Ark outside on the big screen. I have to say, I was so proud of the 8th graders. I miss not having many of you this year and you are turning into spectacular human beings. Your leadership and character was very evident last night and I wish you all the best of luck as you finish 8th grade and go through high school. The 7th graders: I hope you've learned what it means to be the "middle child" this year. You will grow into great people this year and we're looking forward to seeing amazing growth in behavior as well as academics. 6th graders: I had a great time getting to know some of you. Welcome to Groton Middle School! Be sure to learn from the best of the upperclassmen and the teachers that care so much about you. There are some great role-models here. Below are a few pictures from the nights' activities. None of this would have been possible without the commitment and enthusiasm of Mr. Filzen, Mr. Toyama, Mr. Lott, Mr. Wiech, Mr. Weeks, and Mr. Giroux. Also, special thanks to Mr. Morton, Mr. Totman, and Mr. Lockwood for helping out and to Mrs. Filzen for all her behind-the-scenes magic and Middle School Student Council for making this event absolutely free to every student.
Good Morning Campers!
