Beginning of School by Madyson Harris

The beginning of school can offer many exciting opportunities. These opportunities include new clubs, classes, and friends! A lot of things can and will change over the summer. This can make your first day/beginning very stressful. Yet these new changes can make you more successful. 

    For example, one thing that has changed this year is that all grades in the middle school have the opportunity to use iPads  for learning purposes. A cool thing about  the iPads is that we can take them home and play games on them. Another cool privilege is that the 7th graders now get an opportunity to try out for the sports team along with the 8th graders. Instead of an A and B team we now have a 7th and 8th grade team.

    As an 8th grader we also get the opportunity to be on the Web team. As a web leader you get to help 6th graders with their transition to their new school along with being a role model for the rest of the school. 8th graders also get 1 new elective to replace the second ela class. Some of the electives you can sign up for is Mythology, Drama and Speech, Guitar, Tech applications, and Choir. 

   It is good to remember that the beginning of school does not have to be as stressful if you don't make it. There are many opportunities to be excited about and it is good to remind yourself of those. Have fun at school!
