Ending my Middle School Career by Miranda Andrews

  It's hard to explain how amazing my year has been in words. I honestly have loved eighth grade more than the other two years I have spent in the ESMS. This year presented itself with endless opportunities and was nothing like I expected. I expected it to be the same as my sixth and seventh grade but it was nowhere near, I was blown away. This year went by so incredibly fast. One of the best parts was being a techspert. Ms. Travis has a endless supply of dedication for this school and it was really amazing getting to see her and her hard work every single day. Not all days were the most fun, like shelving books or cleaning something out but we got to do things that not very people could have done in our school. We got to help Ms. Travis bring her extraordinary book fairs to life.

     Part of my favorite things we did this year was for our book fair my team made a game. An arcade game to be exact. Half of the team worked on the game while the other half designed the outside cover. “The adventures of Marshmallow Man!” We made our game with a super cool app called bloxels, where you designed it on a board and scanned it into the app causing it to come into the online world, where anyone could see it. That book fair was the “Get hooked on good books” theme, but we all enjoyed the candyland themed book fair also. In the candyland book fair we all worked together, as a team and made a massive game board. We made all the characters, famous from books and classes seemed to love coming in and playing the game.

    This year was amazing and I would recommend to everyone to try and get this opportunity.  Being a techspert means you are trusted and you get to contribute to the good of the school and help get some of the work of Ms, Travis’s shoulders. You get to make miracles. I truly loved being a techspert, but it’s my turn to head to high school. I hope all the other ESMS students have had an outstanding year like mine.
