Tenth Age Moves Up

The Class of 2019 officially became Fifth Graders, and Middle Schoolers, on Monday morning at the Tenth Age Moving Up Ceremony. This ceremony celebrates the class’s years in the Lower School and wishes them well as they head across Tuscany Road to the Middle School.
Students recognized for outstanding citizenship, Julia P., Lilly B., Luke W., and Warry C. led their class in the Calvert Prayer. Those with the outstanding record in scholarship, Reese W. and Wes S. then presented their banners to Sixth Agers Cali deV. and Thomas R., while Francesca P. and Will G. gave the Charge to the Ninth Age, who lined the aisle in the auditorium. They wished their schoolmates well in their final year in the Lower School. State Reports are still researched and presented in Tenth Age. Congratulations to Kate S. and Matthew F., who had outstanding reports which they presented during the ceremony.
 
Head Master Andrew Holmgren addressed the class and family members, reminding the students that they will still see him every day, as his Middle School office is in the Fifth Grade wing. During a new tradition, Tenth Age recessed as Lower School students and teachers lined the walkway between the lower and middle school buildings. To cheers and waves, the Tenth Age walked to the Middle School where they joined their families for a reception and photos.
