An outstanding group of eighth graders graduated in front of family, friends, and alumni.

They've been at McGuffey for a combined total of thirty-one years. They have been to Model UN three times and just finished their fourth musical. Together they know just about everything about us. They are partners to their second group of kindergarteners. They mentor younger students in formal projects like Model UN and the Stock Market Game and informally in countless ways every day. In their classes they read Beowulf, analyze field data on local watersheds, factor polynomials, study the Cold War, and learn to spot a gerund. Out of school they participate in athletics, music, volunteer programs, and church activities. They've attended three years of musicals with Cloud Club, and they love their visits to WOXY, here and in Cincinnati. Congratulations to the McGuffey Foundation School, Class of 2006.
