Congratulations 8th Grade Families!

It's a Saxe tradition to celebrate our 8th graders in a big way for all their hard work and success throughout their four years at Saxe. End-of-year planning is in full swing for a final farewell to the Saxe graduating class of 2025.

See the complete schedule and details below

*Should any of the costs associated with the events be prohibitive, please reach out to your child’s counselor. For general questions regarding any of our end-of-year celebrations, please reach out to 8th-grade assistant Ms. Lin Benware at (203) 594-4538 or Lin.Benware@ncps-k12.org.   

8th Grade Bash planning is in full swing but we need your help to make the day extra special! Click HERE to contribute.

More About the Bash:

 Attendance:

Students are expected to stay for the entire BASH, unless we have permission in advance from a parent/guardian for an early pick up. 

This helps us avoid confusion and ensures that every student is accounted for—we want all families to feel confident their kids are safe throughout the night.

 Dress Code Suggestions:

We’re encouraging students to dress up a bit for the occasion—nothing fancy, just a step above everyday wear. Think fun and festive! Please no athletic wear.

Some ideas:

• Boys: Collared shirts, khaki shorts or pants

• Girls: Dressy tops with pants, a skirt, or a casual dress

Since the event is outdoors on grass, please keep footwear practical—sneakers are encouraged.

 Drop-Off & Pick-Up:

Use the South Ave entrance only. Carpooling is encouraged!

 What’s at the BASH?

• Colony Pizza Truck

• DJ & Dancing

• Games & Giveaways

• Candy Bar Fun!

Let’s give our 8th graders a night to remember as they say goodbye to Saxe!
