This “tale as old as time” tells the story of Belle, a bright and independent young woman taken prisoner by a beast in his castle. If the Beast can learn to love and be loved in return, and if Belle can see the true heart and soul of the beast within, the curse will end and he and the enchanted inhabitants of his castle will be transformed back into their former selves. But time is running out and he and his household could be doomed for all eternity.

Four teams of students were given the opportunity to create and bury artifacts that represent a specific ancient civilization. Then, each team was tasked with finding and excavating these artifacts, while carefully recording data and ultimately identifying the civilization to which the artifacts belonged.

For the culminating project of this quarter's interdisciplinary theme of justice, eighth grade students planned a multi-layered celebration of Cuban culture that took place in the Middle School Quad yesterday. The festivities kicked off with festive group and solo salsa dancing by the eighth grade students. Afterward, students and guests enjoyed learning about justice and Cuba at colorful and creative booth displays. Guests also took salsa lessons and tasted traditional Cuban churros.

In addition, guests learned about influential Cubans, enjoyed the "Realm of Justice Amusement Park" inspired by Old Town Havana and Cuban UNESCO World Heritage sights, played chess in homage to Cuba's strong chess culture, and explored the worlds of Cuban sports and music.
