Seniors and juniors reconnected with their Eagle Buddies on Jan. 29. Seniors watched the fifth grade musical, “Dig It!”, at the lower school gym, and juniors participated in circus activities at the upper school. 

“Dig It!” transported the audience through ancient civilizations, including Mesopotamia, Greece and China. For many seniors, like Tanvi Sivakumar (12), the show held significance because they had performed the same musical seven years ago.

“I was really excited to watch the fifth grade show because I have so many memories of performing it back in fifth grade and even performing it for my older Eagle Buddies back then,” Tanvi said. “It’s crazy to now be the senior eagle buddies, but watching the show was just so nostalgic, and I loved cheering on my buddies and getting to talk to them and congratulate them after.”

After the performance, the fifth graders joined their senior buddies in the gym to celebrate performing their first show. 

Before the activities, juniors and fourth graders watched a circus performance with a contortionist, juggler, clown and chair-balancing act. During the show, they shared a meal of chicken and vegetable tenders. 

“One of my Eagle Buddies does acrobatics, and she was talking about how she could be like one of the acrobats,” junior Aanya Sharma said. “We all bonded during the circus activities over the fact that we couldn’t toss the scarves more than three times. It’s always fun meeting with my Eagle Buddies because I get to learn about what they’re doing in elementary school and take our minds off of academics.”

During the upperclassmen’s Eagle Buddies event, frosh and sophomores attended a LIFE meeting.
