House REveal introduces sixth graders to a middle school tradition

RE's new sixth graders received a raucous welcome to their middle school "houses" in what is fast becoming a beloved tradition: the annual House REveal during the first week of school. The seven middle school houses provide a center for student life and activities across grade levels, and on August 21 seventh and eighth graders welcomed new sixth graders to their respective houses with cheers, celebratory signs and ear-splitting revelry. Keep reading to see photos and learn how our middle school houses combine RE history, Florida wildlife and a touch of Hogwarts magic, while contributing to Joy & Wellbeing at the middle school.
