The Canton Academy 8th grade students have begun reading Lord of the Flies by William Golding. As part of the tradition, students were put into group and raced to complete a shelter. They had to use one item from their backpacks and work together to create a space that could withstand the force of a leaf blower. The winning team included Jack Cliburn, Mac Stacey, Rhett Hale, and JD Kelly. Students will complete the book in the coming weeks and then begin playing Survivor where they are placed into tribes to see who can “outwin, outplay, and outlast.”
