Edward E. Drew, Jr. Middle School

Congratulations to our raffle winners who are kicking off summer with some pretty awesome prizes! ☀️🎉

Throughout the year, students with great attendance were entered into the raffle as a reward for showing up, staying committed, and making every day count. We’re proud of all of our students for their hard work this year!

Today, some of our students took part in an exciting Amazon STEM workshop where they designed, built, coded, and raced LEGO robots against one another! From creative thinking and teamwork to problem-solving and innovation, this hands-on experience was packed with learning, collaboration, and fun. 🚀

Three years ago, we started a tradition of giving graduating seniors the opportunity to dedicate their diploma to a middle school teacher or staff member who made a lasting impact on their journey. ❤️

Today, we had the honor of delivering those special recognitions to our staff, and the heartfelt words reminded us just how meaningful the relationships built at Drew truly are. Thank you to our seniors for taking the time to celebrate the educators who helped shape your path, we are so proud of you and grateful to have been part of your story. We can’t wait to see the impact you make on the world! 🎓✨

Last week, our students traveled to Kings Dominion to showcase the musical skills they’ve developed throughout middle school. They performed for a panel who provided valuable feedback and encouragement. After all their hard work and dedication, students celebrated with a fun day of roller coasters, laughter, and time spent with their fellow musicians! 🎶🎢
