Eighth Graders Host 15th Annual Friendship Games

Marti Lotman
Dozens of students in exceptional education programs throughout the Palm Beach County area travelled to the Benjamin Upper School for the 15th annual Friendship games hosted by the eighth grade class.  It was a heartwarming day on Theofilos Field and the Upper School Campus, filled with field day events and a ceremonial lap around Reback Track. Benjamin eighth graders cheered on their guests as they walked around the track with their teachers and chaperones for the opening ceremonies.

The full day, led by teacher Kathleen Devine, is the eighth grade level service project. Benjamin students helped their guests with relay races, ball tosses, face painting and crafting. Each competitor was awarded a medal for their participation after enjoying a pizza lunch served by Benjamin parent volunteers.
