Get your togas out and get ready to party because Ancient Day is just around the corner! Ancient Day is the 6th grade’s end-of-the-year activity. Of course, 8th graders go to Knotts and 7th graders go to Mulligans, but Ancient Day is a special day where 6th graders do fun crafts and activities to pull us back in time and to experience ancient times as if we were in a civilization! If you are a 7th or 8th grader that did choir, you will definitely remember this next thing… Dig It! 

Dig it!

Dig It is a special musical put together by the 5th and 6th period beginning choir. It is based on factual events and characters from Greece, Rome, Mesopotamia, and plenty more ancient places you have learned about in your history class. The 3 main characters are Taki, Tut, and Lucy. Even though it is true, the way the choir put it together makes it super fun and enjoyable to watch. Here are some interviews with stars!
