The Ice Cream Social and Lower and Middle School Assemblies

ICE CREAM SOCIAL
by Kaye Myers

 

The end of summer and the beginning of the new school year is a transitional time for both students and adults.  It is a time filled with feelings of excitement and apprehension.  What better way to calm these feelings than to get together with old and new friends at the annual Back-to-School Ice Cream Social.  Regardless of the weather there is always plenty of ice cream to enjoy while catching up on the activities of friends and meeting new teachers and classmates, many of whom will become your life-long friends.

 

 

 

LOWER AND MIDDLE SCHOOL ASSEMBLIES
by Suze Anne Norton

Wichita Collegiate School has always recognized the many benefits gained from gathering our school community together. From the small beginnings of our school, we have regularly gathered students together to celebrate individual and school successes, enlighten our students of important topics with school and community speakers, and reinforce the universal values that have been the foundation of our school.

These universal values were originally shared through a Christian perspective. As our school community became more diverse during the mid-eighties, our weekly gatherings changed from chapels to assemblies. This change also coincided with the flooding of the chapel in the summer of 1986 in the basement area below the Lower School/Middle School lunchroom. 

 

 

 

Assemblies are a very important part of student life at Collegiate, and Lower and Middle School continue to hold weekly assemblies. They are a time of sharing, entertainment, and sharing a common vision of our school community.
