Its a typical day at Schoo Middle School. Some students are excited to see their friends, others are anxious about how they'll do on the pacer in P. E. Some students are hoping for outdoor recess, and some just can't wait for the day to end. There are times when you see someone sitting all alone in the cafeteria, but you don't have the courage to go sit with them, and there are times that you may have been that kid sitting there. When the bell rings at the end of a period and there are people rushing in the crowded hallway, you might be the one stuck behind the slowest walker in the world. Again. Or you might be the kid who can't see over those who hit their growth spurt first. Or you run out to see your friends before going to your next class three minutes later. Middle school is a way of life. Its a place to grow up, a place to try new things, learn about other perspectives, and to discover who you truly are. If you take advantage of that, then you will learn to see the world from a ll angles .
In the eighth grade, we had eight sets of twins this year: Zoryanna and Jasmine A., Kaylee and Connor B., Zoie and Elizabeth F., Lauren and Nolan F., Angus and Drake H., Erika and Zerik J., Jaedon and Elizabeth M., and Mateo and Antonio P.
What is your earliest memory of each other? -
"I remember wrestling my brother, Mateo, when we were about two years old." said Antonio P.
"I remember when we would stay up all night together." said Elizabeth M.
What would you do without your twin? .
"I have someone to relate to. Yes, we don't get along, but I have a sibling I can talk to since my sister is grown up." said Lauren F.
What would your life be like without your twin?
Almost all of them responded with "Boring. 11
But they all agreed life with a sibling that you have such a unique connection with is one of the most amazing gifts you can ever receive.

Middle school is a great place to find out who you really are .
Bhan B., a 6th grader, says he wants to be in the NBA "Rajan Rondo inspired me because he is a really great basketball player and hardworking. Lots of students that are involved in sports now, want to become professionals. They know that working hard and getting good grades in school will make them better athletes. ''
Seventh grader Amara B. wants to be a doctor, Amara says, 11 1want to make people feel better and doctors make a lot of money. "
Eighth grader Tatum S. also wants to be in the medical field She wants to be a pediatric neurosurgeon. 11 1think brains are the most interesting part of the body, because they store the most information. 11
Blaine L, a 7th grader, wants to be a reptile specialist. 11 1love reptiles. They are the most fascinating animals on the planet. I know a lot about them. 11
There are lots of jobs out there. The experiences we have now and our education lead the way to our future. Every day we learn something that shapes us and, hopefully, we all can find a career that will fit each of us perfectly.

There are many ways to get from your home to school and back to your house. Maybe you,re able to step outside your house and see the school from your front step. Or maybe you have it planned out when exactly you need to leave your house to get to your bus stop on time. A large amount of students carpool or have their parents drive them. The important thing is that all the students get to Schoo and return home safe and sound .

TSchoo students come from all parts of North Lincoln. Many kids who go to school here come from Fallbrook, Air Park, the Highlands, or the Kooser neighborhood. Since they come from different neighborhoods, students bring different perspectives to school every day. Just like any other middle school, outsiders have different perceptions of Schoo. But because our district area has very different neighborhoods, we all come together not having one identity, but a mix of many different ones all together.
Fallbrook is one of the many neighborhoods that Schoo serves. Addy H. lives in Fallbrook and gives us one perspective "A misconception about Fallbrook is that everyone thinks that people who live in Fallbrook are rich and snotty but I know that not all of the people who live here are." Addy says that Fallbrook has a really strong community aspect to it. "Everyone is friendly with each other and always talking outside of their houses. That is what I like most about living here ." Addy is just one of the many kids that live in Fallbrook. "A lot of kids live near me. We are always hanging out at each other ' s houses. 11
Kids living in Air Park are in Schoo' s district as well. People have different thoughts about Air Park , but to Kaylee B., it is her home. "A misconception about Air Park is that it is not very nice," says Kaylee. "That is actually not true at all even though some people may think that." Kaylee gives us a different opinion on Airpark. "I really like my neighborhood because it has a really good park and it is pretty nice with friendly people." Kaylee's favorite part of her neighborhood is something that you might not expect. 11 1just love my house and being home with my fam ily .''
The Highlands neighborhood is full of kids from Schoo. Abby L. loves her neighborhood. "My neighborhood is very friendly. I love liv ing by my friends and hanging out with them in the summer,"
At:>by tells us. The Highlands Pool is a prime spot where many kids like to hang out. "My favorite part about my neighborhood is the pool . Me and my friends go there all the time in the summer. 11
Kooser is a growing commun ity ful l of Schoo families. Many students from Kooser came to Schoo when they went into sixth grade because it was closer to the family neighborhood. "My favorite part about my neighborhoo.d is my friends, playing four square in my circle, riding bikes , and going to the parks at Kooser ," says Cooper K. "I like my neighborhood because its fun and all my friends and other kids live by me ," answers Josh G . They both enjoy living by each other and hanging out at each other's houses.
# of Schoo Students:
How long have you had your best friend?
We like to think that friends are just friends, but they're not. Throughout middle schoo l, we make friendships -that will last alifetime.
Alaa I., an 8th grader, had a lot to say about her friendships. "Having friends is important because I will always have someone who cares for me and that I can laugh with. They also will lift you up and won't bring you down. If you find the right group of friends, you will stay out of trouble."
During middle school, friendships might change. We get closer with some people and others we drift away from. ''My friendships have gotten stronger since 6th grade because we know how to solve our problems more than we used to. We also know each other better and what we all like, which makes us best friends for life." says 8th grader Cassie H.
11 Wlthout our friends , I don ' t think anyone could survive, 11 says Alaa I. "Even though every friendsh ip has their ups and downs, we will always stick together. 11

Mr Shulenberg has been an inspiration for many while at Schoo. He started as a teacher when middle schools were still called 'junior high, and 9th grade was not high school. About ,-~--~ half of the current Schoo staff wasn't born when he started teaching! As a principal the last five years, he had the job overseeing everything that makes Schoo run every day. He's definitely leaves Schoo with a lasting impression.
"Mr. Schulenberg has had a positive influence on every student, family, and staff member that has walked through the doors at Schoo. His collaboration , leadership, kindness, and sense of humor is going to be missed. I wish him the best of luck in his next journey. " _ -Mr. Swift

Every year, Student Peace organizes Spirit Week for Schoo students , but this years was different . The days were traditional Spirit Week concepts thematically named to help raise awareness for drug abuse, misuse, and addict ion. For example, Tuesday during Spirit Week was a neon co lor mismatch day titled; "Be Bold
Against Drugs." Participating students also wore crazy socks on "Sock it to Drugs" day, sweat pants on "Sweat Out Drugs" day, and sport/team gear to "T eam Up Against Drugs." Student Peace also included the annual tradition of "Pink-Out Day'' to raise awareness for breast cancer.
The 8th graders did a great job and worked hard putting on another successful play. The drama class performed All Shook Up during the spring. Drama has always been a terrific way for students to step out of their comfort zones and try something new .
"I wanted to do drama because I have always liked the other 8th grade plays I have seen in the past, '' says Lily W.
Lily ended up getting a lead and was really happy about it
"I was really shocked when I heard I got the lead. I've only done small.er productions before so this was a big step for me. My favorite part about drama was hanging out with all my classmates at Dairy Queen after our concert!"
Another lead in ' the • musical, Noah T., has

11 1got interested in drama at the age of seven and ever since then I've loved it. " says Noah. "My favorite thing about drama is the atmosphere because it makes it SO' much more fun. "
In 4th grade, hundreds of Schoo students signed up to play string instruments at their respective elementary schools. In middle school, those students that have continued to stick with it make up the Schoo orchestra.
"Every time I play, I learn something/ says 8th grade violinist Alaa I. Whenever they play their instruments, they get something different out of it, whether its a new skill, a new piece of musical knowledge, or a general attribute they can apply to many things in life.
One thing that students enjoy about orchestra is that you can always get betteJ. This year's students made the most of that opportunity.
"The 7th graders that came in have improved exponentially since where they left off as 6th graders/' said orchestra director, Mr. Simodynes. "And the 8th graders have continued to refine their skills."
Within the orchestra lies diversity, whether its the instruments, the pieces of music, or the students themselves, its all different. Alaa I. said the thing she enjoyed most about orchestra was playing different types of music.
"We've grown as a group, and l1 m a lot better than I was last year."
This year, Schoo introduced a new elective for 8th grade students: Beginning Guitar. The class is a new opportunity for students to strengthen their knowledge in music, both on their instrument and about the music theory behind chords and other important concepts. Schoo is the only LPS middle school that offers beginning guitar.
All of the students have different perspectives, but all enjoy playing guitar.
11 1think this class is amazing and I think the kids like this class because you come in having a different subject than most of the schoo l." says Mr. Simodynes. "The kids are .. usually very energetic, interested, - -~
and ready to play. "
The students are very active during the class as they learn many techniques and songs . Eighth grader Calleigh T., one of the g ui tar students, loves the opportunity to p lay guitar during the school day. 11 1love playing guitar. Ifs fun and exiting. But it is • also hard and difficult as the bar chords and the finger picking. A way to get better is practicing and working on the strumming pattern or the finger picking pattern. "
Lots of singers join choir and Skyhawk Singers because singing is an outlet for them . Many people think that Skyhawk Singers and choir are the same thing, but they aren't. Skyhawk Singers is a club for both 7th and 8th grade students. They meet every Monday and they sing popular music.
Choir is only 8th grade students and is a year long class that meets everyday . They sing more complex and less popular songs. The 2nd and 3rd quarter choir focused on learning music for the drama production. Mrs. Jurgens explains what Skyhawk Singers and choir are like.
11 They are like a cupcake. Choir' s the cake part of the cupcake because they sing more and they practice every day. Skyhawk Singers are like the frosting because they get to sing more fun and popular songs. They also don't practice every day. You get to finish off your cupcake with a fun frosting! 11
Overall the music program had a wonderful year and got to learn awesome songs!
are a place for students to express themselves with their favorite activities. From showing your artistic talent to trying to make a change while in Student Peace, there is a club for everyone.
S la m po et s pr epar e to comp ete aga in s t high sc hool s
Competing against students our own age is tough enough. Imagine going up against high school students. Thats what our slam poetry team does each year. Skyhawks of all different grade levels compete in this contest between schools to see who writes and performs their poetry best. Not only does Slam Poetry help students improve their writing and speech, but it 0160 provides a social aspect unlike any other community of people
Eighth grader Schylar C. said it best. "Slam Poetry has offered an amazing opportunity to go outside of your comfort zone and meet new people. You can create better , friendships with people you wouldn't normally talk to and you get to understand the views and opinions of the people around you."
Slam Poetry also gives students an opportunity to share their thoughts, feelings, and opinions of the world. Mr. DeAmbrose has seen 84 students come and go in his days of coaching slam poetry, making great poets in the process!
When you hear Card Club, you might picture people gathered around playing a game of Go Fish. At Schoo, this is not the case. Every other Monday, kids meet in Mr. White ' s room to play card games such as Yu-Gi-Oh, Magic: The Gathering, and Pokemon, working on new strategies and experiencing new card games.
"When we get there , we set up our decks and play each other in different games until the end, when Mr . White puts different cards out on his cart and we pick different cards . If anyone pulls a special card they get a prize ," said Korben S., an active card club member.
When you think of board games, what do you think of? You may have answered Candy Land, Checkers , Hungry Hungry Hippos. If you did , Mr. Fickes and the Board Game Club regulars would not be pleased Their favorites include Splendor , One Night Ultimate Werewolf, and King of Tokyo
Board Game Club is not as much a club , but an experience among friends. "I like that I can experience crazy , fun, exc itin g board games with my friends." said 8th grader Gi lli an F. 11 1would definitely recommend Board Game Club to anyone ! Its always fun and we're always willing to teach new peop le these really cool games ."
Art Club helps students express their personJlit1es
Studen t s with artistic minds can let their imag in a tion s run wild in a place w h e re they can make their own wo rl ds bec ome real. That place is Art C lub.
These st ude nts work hard and put effort into t heir hobby. Students come to Art Club with two things on their m ind : b ecome a better artist and ma ke it as fun as they can. You don 't ju st draw on a blank sheet of pape r wi t h pencil in Art Club. You can use p aint, oils, even cardboard can be u se d as a canvas. You're able t o c reate anY!hing that you wou ld like to create.
Many stude nts have created wonde rful works of art that you can see as yo u e nter the school and arou n d some hallways near the med ia ce nter.
Art C lub is a huge success that -has prov ide d many students with oppo rtuniti e s to use their imag inati o ns and show off their skills and pe rso na lities to the world throug h th e ir artwork.
This year, the cross country teams had a lot of success. The boys' team had 8th grader Grant W. who placed second in all meets and the girls team had 7th grader Berlyn S. who won all meets that she attended. Since the season ended, lots of the runners are already missing it just like 8th grader Cassie H. 11 This season me and my friends made the best of it. 11
Since the year ended, many friendships continue on and so does the love for the sport. Eighth grader Lily W. said, 11 lt was fun. Definitely hard, but fun . Its always hard to get back into the swing of things , but its always rewarding. The new 7th graders really helped push the 8th graders since most of them were very fast. I hope to see the 8th graders keep doing cross country because if we're going to different high schools, it will be fun to compete against them. 11

Schoo's volleyball teams did outstanding this year, capped off by an 8th grade All- City Championsh ip in the first ever LPS middle school volleyball tournament.
"My favorite part of the season was scrimmaging with my team / said 8th grader Mad i B. "We became more confident with our volleyba ll skills. "
There were many different ideas why Sc hoo d id so well this year . "Be ing setter, it took us a little bit to figure out a good rotation. " says Paige C . "But once we figured it out, ~was able to set our hitters up and score more po ints. "

Many times our main goal in sports is to win. Thafs exactly what Schoo's boys' 11 A11 team did this year. But along with that are all the experiences made throughout the season. This is what it was like for 8th grader Will B. and Coach Thatcher.
11 My favorite part of playing soccer is meeting new people. 11 said Will B. 11 Playing with new people we meet makes .the games way more fun to play in. 11
"My favor ite thing about this year would have to be when (7th grader) Laith A. scored and he jumped on his brother's back each time. " said Coach Thatcher. "Also, """"-""•~ calling (8th grader) Angus H. 11 Beef 11 every time he did well while playing goalie. 11 •

Mr. Washburn and Mr. Heiser took control of a wrestling team looking to gain experience more than anything. Many of the wrestlers had never wrestled before this year.
"It was scary the first time wondering if it would hurt
or not . I had a lot of fun the first meet. " said Ian B. "I got to know more about the others on the team. I learned more about the rules and got better at the end than when I started. "
"I wanted something ·to do after school and this was a new experience to try. " said Carter L. "It was pretty fun the first time, a lot of bruises. Learned a little bit. The first thing you're thinking is that you don't want to be the first person pinned. Then 'ok, how can I take down that guy? And then you just start acting and counteracting. "

Basketball is a sport that requires a lot of cooperation with your team. As a team, you have to respect and listen to each other's ideas for success to happen. This year's girls ' basketball teams had a lot to say about the way their teams worked together.
"This year was great, " says 8th grader, Kinsley R "We had a lot of team mojo! Our team worked really well together and the flow of the game was better than last year! " The Skyhawks ' "A" _ team went 6-0 this season and went on to win the All-City tournament! An undefeated Skyhawks team was a huge accomplishment that the girls enjoyed thoroughly.
The "B" and 11 C 1 teams also had a lot of success this year! "It was a lot better than last year! 11 says Avery B. We cooperated well and everyone was nice and enjoyed each other." The Skyhawks are • known for their great sportsmanship and their hard work! And this season proved it!

The 20 l 8 boys' basketball season was one to remember! The 8th grade teams had their highs and lows on their way to a successful season. They worked hard and poured in tons of effort. The 7th grade 11 B11 and "C ' teams also had a wonderful season with just as many highs and lows. This season was capped off with a 7th grade "A" team All-City Championship!
"We had a really talented group this year in 7th grade It was nice to see that they were able to reach their potential. " said Coach Hix. "Talent wise, we had a special group of kids. Brennan C. really was our anchor and a great leader for our team. 11
Max B thought the team's chem istry was the cause of their success. "I've been on a few other teams, and being on a school team, I get to see my teammates every day. Its nice to talk about how the season is going every day. We communicated well w ith each other and I knew that was why we were going to be good the first day of the season . 11

Wow! The year is already over and ifs one to be remembered. Schoo has provided students who all have different perspectives the oppurtunity to be successful. We had a couple sports championships along with great academic achievments. Our club programs are as strong as ever. We raised 900 pounds of food for the Food Bank and almost $900 to help local refugees! By he lping our community grow, we have grown as a school as well. Walsworth
