THE CLASS OF 2025...
8th Grade Excels
The recent 8th grade graduates, or the class of 2025, had a tremendous year in and outside the classroom. For their mathematics finals, they had the task of designing a plot of land with different threedimensional buildings. They were quite precise in their measurements and their calculations of surface area and volume. One scholar, Luke Hocking, had a nice design based around the Las Vegas Raiders stadium. Although, he would have done better if he had designed it around the Buffalo Bills stadium in Orchard Park, New York. Overall, I was impressed with each scholar’s focus and patience for a project that took many class days to complete. Outside of the classroom, I saw different scholars step up in their growth as a leader. Recently, I was able to witness a scholar who never played organized basketball in her life. With very little skill, she became the vocal leader of a team that made it all the way to the championship game. Her leadership helped to make that happen. This eighth grade class was amazing academically and in developing as leaders, which will set them up for success in high school and beyond. Mr. Matt Feely, Math Teacher 16
