8th Graders Thoughts on Going to High School

By: Owen and Jackson

Being the first graduating class of the Westside Middle School is an honor.  All the eighth graders will cherish our years at Westside for the rest of our lives. We will remember the best moments, the great friends we made, and the amazing support of our teachers.

We all feel that Westside has prepared us for high school and the rest of our lives. Some of the people in the eighth grade class have been here since pre-school; Owen, Anna C, Anna N, Grant, Lucie, Jordan, and Annika have all been here for 11 years and still just can't get enough of it. The others who came after: Ella, Isabele, Jackson, Jakob, John, Larisa, Lily G, Lily S, Lily T, Niccole, and Rex are still a big part of the Westside community.

Although it will be great going to a bigger school with more opportunities, we will miss how close the community here is and how nice everyone is to each other. However, we are all very excited to meet new people and make new friends and hopefully will still stay in contact with each other. We will all miss Westside dearly and we will never forget it.
