Moving Up 26
Join us as we celebrate the accomplishments, growth, and achievements of our eighth-grade students as they complete an important chapter of their educational journey. The Moving Up Ceremony honors their hard work, dedication, and memories made throughout their time at GWL while recognizing their transition to high school. We applaud our students' success and wish them continued achievement in the years ahead.
Suessical Jr
Watching the GWL middle school production of Seussical JR. was like stepping into a neon-colored fever dream fueled by pure imagination and a lot of talented actors. It was a high-energy, chaotic in the best way possible, and surprisingly heart-tugging.
4th Grade Children's Museum
The 4th Grade students participated in an educational field trip to the Children’s Museum of Poughkeepsie. The museum offered hands-on, interactive exhibits designed to encourage creativity, problem-solving, and curiosity. Through age-appropriate activities focused on science, art, and imaginative play, students explored new ideas while strengthening social and critical-thinking skills.
5th Grade Trip- iFly
The fifth grade took a trip to iFly in Paramus, N.J. iFLY’s Physical Education field trip lets students learn, grow, and fly in a safe, inclusive space that unites athletics and science. There was a physics demonstration in the wind tunnel followed by a classroom experiment to investigate the effects of parachute parameters on flight performance. They learned how STEM is used in the real-world. Finally, they were able to have flying time in the wind tunnel!
8th-grade Ellis Island and Statue of Liberty trip
The 8th-grade class embarked on a profoundly educational and memorable journey to two of America's most iconic landmarks, the Statue of Liberty and Ellis Island. This trip provided students with a powerful, firsthand experience of the history of immigration, freedom, and the American identity.
7th Grade Maritime Aquarium at Norwalk Class Trip
This trip offers a chance for students to experience the marine environment and conservation efforts focused on Long Island Sound and the surrounding waters, with a focus on learning about the diverse marine life of Long Island Sound, ocean health, and maritime history. Some key exhibits and encounters include seeing over 7,500 animals, and visiting multiple touch tanks where students can safely touch animals like cownose rays, Atlantic sturgeon, moon jellies, and intertidal creatures (crabs, sea stars, etc.).
