Briarcliff Middle School eighth graders in Sara Piersons’ Advisory class were in for a treat this week: Briarcliff High School students visited their class to lead a workshop on creating a safe learning environment in the classroom.
What's Happening Now
What is it like being a middle schooler today?
Students across all grades at Briarcliff Middle School have been writing responses to that question, as part of a contest called “The 2024 Middle School Student Sound Off.”
Step aside, sports fans; there’s a new Sweet Sixteen competition in town.
Briarcliff Middle School French students in grades six, seven and eight are participating in Manie Musicale 2024.
The competition features current songs played on the radio in French-speaking countries. The songs go head-to-head to see which students think are the best in a Sweet Sixteen bracket format.
What is the story of a Briarcliff student? And why do stories matter?
Eight graders in Maggie White’s “Storytelling for Change” enrichment class at Briarcliff Middle School explore these questions, along with a range of examples of storytelling from podcasts to Ted Talks to Author's Notes to poetry, and ultimately choose the best format to tell their own story.
Recently, in honor of Black History Month, students explored the question “Why is the story of Black History month an important story to tell?”
What could be better than going ice-skating?
Going with your entire school!
Before the break, students, teachers and staff at Briarcliff Middle School went on an ice skating trip to Rye Playland Ice Casino.
Dungeons & Dragons – but make it yummy.
This, in a nutshell, is the concept of a new club at Briarcliff Middle School called Dungeons & Donuts.
