Thank you all for a wonderful year! The Orange Cluster teachers were blessed, yet again, with a fantastic group of kids. They were hardworking, respectful, positive students from September all the way until June. And for that we are tremendously grateful.

In class today, we began by watching the end-of-year video (above) and then followed with the year’s-end awards. In addition to giving awards for the highest average, the best effort, the best participation, and the most-improved student in each class, we also found out which students were the winners of our Applying for Jobs project:

Naval Engineer – Lexi Dahlquist
Doctor – Maddie Hobson
NASA Chemist – Lauren Camire
Maritime Navigator – Alyssa Fleming
Aerospace Engineer – Paige Manning
Evolutionary Biologist – Grace McAlpine
Environmental Scientist – Kathleen Byrne

Congratulations to the students above, and to all of this year’s students, on a job well done. You will have a great year next year, of that I’m sure. And I hope you carry the lessons of 8th grade with you through high school and beyond.

Sincerely,
Mr. A
