On June 2, the sun shone brightly on the fields of Northwestern Lehigh Middle School as eighth grade students gathered for their highly anticipated Game Day event.
The event marked a bittersweet milestone as they prepare to leave middle school.
The morning was full of spirited competitive games including capture the flag, kickball, and volleyball.
Students showcased their teamwork and sportsmanship by cheering each other on with enthusiasm and pride.
Once the games were over, the kids were able to rest and relax with friends over Polish Water Ice purchased by the parent teacher organization.
As they move on to high school, they’ll take friendships along with countless memories made during their time at the middle school.
