The Heart of a Champion: 8th Grade, YOU DID IT!
Hard Work=Incredible Results
I don’t even know if I have the words… but I am unbelievably proud of our 8th graders. Over the past two years, I’ve watched them grow, struggle, push through, and rise—again and again. They’ve poured their hearts into learning, showed up with grit and determination, and gave every ounce of effort they had.
This year’s OSTP Writing and ELA tests? They rocked it. Truly. Not just because of the scores that will be amazing—but because of how far they’ve come. Because they believed in themselves, even when it was hard. Because they tried, they cared, and they never gave up.
They've inspired me every single day. I’m so crazy proud of them!.
This is what growth looks like-be proud of yourselves!
Well done, 8th grade. You’ve made your mark. 💙
