This year's theme is Culler Pride. Pride is something you see and feel in the classrooms, in the halls, at sports contests and other school activities. How does a school get pride? It comes from all the students, teachers, secretaries, principals, para-educators, custodians, and cafeteria staff. It's peo- ple working together to make Culler the bestjunior high in the city. This is the last year we will have ninth graders at Culler, and some of our staff will be leaving as well as we become a middle school. We dedicate this year- book to them as thanks for their leadership and their contribution to Culler Pride.

We learn from each other and succeed Cooperation is the key
Cooperation is seen in many ways at Culler. Teachers work together to get to know students and help them be mo:re successful. Students work together in various classes to complete projects and help each other learn. Our sports teams worked together to win two city championships and hope to win two more.
As a school we work together to learn about each other's cultures to increase understanding and to get along better Students in home ec. and multicultural classes host a buffet where students and their families prepare ethnic dishes as a
way of learning about different customs.
Parents also add to our success and pride by supporting students in sporting events, assemblies, the performing arts, and classroom activities.
Everyone has worked together to make this year special for the eighth and ninth graders who will be leaving this year, and for the seventh graders who will take over the leadership role.
