On December 2st-5th, The Village School took 99 middle school students to participate in The Games at Windermere Prep in Orlando, Florida. From the opening day, this year’s group was determined to compete hard and have fun while doing it. As a result, The Village School had one of its best performances in years, finishing fourth place overall.
