A student has helped me with notes while I was struggling.

Thank you to Mr. Oney, Mrs. Geraud, and Mr. Richman for helping my team get through the tough situations we are in right now. Their directions and constant answers to questions have helped a lot.

The kindest thing a classmate has ever done for me was getting me out of the room when I was having a panic attack. Thank you so much Megan Snyder for being such a wonderful person. 🙂

Don't forget to take it easy. Take a deep breath and a step back if you're feeling overwhelmed. When you're ready to get back up again, hit it with all you've got!

You should respect others and be kind to everyone around you.

Be yourself, everybody else is already taken

Mrs. Hoffman (8th Grade),

Thanks so much for everything that you did for our history class. When doing National History Day, so may of us were confused and unsettled and unsure of where to even start, and by the end of the time we spent in class, everyone had a project that they could compete with. For some people, this was their first competition, and you helped them and gave them confidence.

Only in the darkness can you see the stars
