The end of the 2024-25 school year is coming but there are still many fun activities to come. One of these activities is the middle school retreat, where all of the middle schoolers go on the field and do fun activities like water slides and minute to win it games. Maryssa Jenzer says, “I am excited to go to the middle school retreat because I can hang out with all of my friends”. The middle school retreat is on May 9 to celebrate the end of the school year; it's going to be very fun, so don't miss it.
Another fun activity happening is 8th grade Gradventure on May 2nd. Gradventure is a field trip the 8th graders are taking to universal studios to celebrate graduating from middle school and going into high school. At this event the whole park is closed to the public and is only open to 8th graders in Florida. Everybody is very excited for this event. Giovanna Santasofia said, “ I am very excited because I have never been to Universal before and I will get to hang out with my friends.” The 8th graders will stay at Universal until midnight and then drive back home. Presley Cheek says “It’s gonna be a late night; we will be there from 5pm to 12am”.
A final activity happening at the end of this school year is the 5th and 8th grade graduation. There will be a ceremony to celebrate the 5th graders becoming middle schoolers and the 8th graders becoming high schoolers. A Lot of kids are excited for this new adventure; Lucas Arnold says, “ I am so excited to be a middle schooler, I think it will be very different but also fun.” However, others are worried about the challenges the next chapter of their life will bring. Grace Rodriguez Said “I am nervous because it's starting a new point in life”. The good thing is , GCA is opening up a ninth grade next year so the eighth graders won't have to switch schools. The graduation ceremony will be on May 16 at 6pm.
