Middle School Instrumental COncert

The Schiff Center was filled with the sounds of violins, cellos, flutes, and much more in early May during the Middle School concert. 

 The sixth grade ensemble played five arrangements, which included a crowd favorite, “Cantina Band” from “Star Wars: Episode IV—A New Hope.” Soon after, the seventh grade ensemble took to the stage, performing five songs from various genres. The eighth grade ensemble followed suit, showcasing their skills with songs like “Crazy Little Thing Called Love” and “Skyfall.”

The concerts were a fantastic culmination of a year of hard work. Congratulations to our student musicians and instrumental teacher John Rising!

Middle School Choral Concert

On May 15, the Middle School choruses serenaded friends and family with a lovely array of songs. The sixth grade chorus performed five songs such as “Sutoku In,” which was Japanese folk song, and “Disco Fever,” a fun arrangement of different songs from the 1970s that embody the groovy disco spirit. The seventh and eighth grade chorus sang seven wonderful songs, including Frank Sinatra’s “Fly Me to the Moon,” “Bonse Aba,” which is a Zambian folk song, and “ABBA Gold,” which was a collection of ABBA songs. The concert concluded with a combined chorus performance of “Viva la Vida” to honor Head of School Chris Garten and all the incredible work he’s done during his 15 years at Seven Hills. Bravo to our wonderful student performers and Middle and Upper School vocal music teacher Tina Kuhlman!

FOURTH ANNUAL WALK-A-THON

Middle School students participated in a Walk-a-Thon in early May to raise money for the two nonprofit organizations, The Caring Place and Leja Bulela. The Caring Place provides services and food, clothing, and furniture to members of the Golf Manor, Kennedy Heights, Pleasant Ridge, and Silverton communities. Leja Bulela is a humanitarian relief organization located in the Democratic Republic of the Congo. The total amount raised from the Walk-a-Thon will be announced during the last Middle School assembly on June 3.

Eighth grade visits The Nancy & David Wolf Holocaust & Humanity Center

On April 22, the entire eighth grade visited The Nancy & David Wolf Holocaust & Humanity Center to deepen their understanding of the Holocaust. Students had previously studied it in their English and social studies classes, and the visit provided a more immersive learning opportunity by allowing them to hear firsthand accounts from local Holocaust survivors. Housed within Cincinnati’s historic Union Terminal, the museum holds significance as the arrival point for thousands of Holocaust survivors who came to Cincinnati by train from war-torn Europe to rebuild their lives.
