Dear 8th Graders,
Thank you for attending Park Middle School for the last three years. You were great role models for the sidekicks-in-training, and the sidekicks. It's time to move up a level from heroes-in-training to superheroes. Heading into high school means that you have to do your best and believe in you.rselfl You can save the world because superheroes believe in themselves. Do not ever be afraid to fail. There is always another time to save the world st yourself. Remember that not all heroes wear capes. You can be a hero by helpin_s! others, volunteering, doing your work, and being in class on time. ""Thank you all for the exciting, challenging. and rewarding years. Although you might be the little heroes in high school you can always achieve to be the greatest and the most superior if' you keep trymg. Go spread your capes and £1.yl ..,All time best heroes are ordinary people who make themselves extraordinary."

It's that tmie of yaar ~in. bma for the student vote in the LPEf"school districts. Student Vote is a mock election that students participate in every 2 years. This process teaches students about the presidential candidates while inform.mg •them about how important it is to vote. The Stu.dent Vote outcome was much dif'ferent than the realistic vote. In Stu.dent Vote, Hillary Clinton beat Donald Trump by 17%, but in the aclu.a.l presidential vote, things turned di££erently. In Nebraska., Donald Trump .--.--bea.t Hillary Clinton by 26.3%, causin_s! an unexpected outcome after the last 13 consecutive years were guccessfully predicted by our Student Vote.

Karina Tyshkova - She is a fantastic listener, she asks for help and then she *actually* listens to what the teacher is saying to help her. Then we see her using the strategies independently and even helping other kids with them.
-Mr. Beatty
Olivia Lempka - Whenever I ask a question to the class, she is willing to volunteer an answer, even if she is not sure she has the right answer. She is always willing to help others if she notices they are confused on something, which is not something I tell , her to do, but something she chooses to do on her own.
Mr. West
Duol Riek - He's such a great kid!!! He is always respectful, responsible, and safe. He also provides me with many great laughs daily. That young man is going places!!!

He is an excellent student, and a kind and thoughtful person: Asaad will no doubt do amazing t hi ngs in the world~
