Hello, my name is Susan Stewart. I am a member of the Wheatland High School Grad Night Committee. The committee is comprised of Volunteers who plan and facilitate the Safe and Sober Grad Night event for Wheatland High School graduates. Committee members are meeting with local community businesses and leaders like yourself, to ask if they would be interested in supporting an event aimed at keeping our local teens safe on such a celebratory night.

Whenever I first began middle school, I was well aware of the new and divergent obstacles I would come across. The classes would become more advanced, teachers more strict, and lunches more disgusting. During my 6th-grade year, this change became clear. As my homework was piling up, so was my stress. Balancing school, sports, and family time had never been an unchallenging task, but I never have and never will let that be the reason for my grades to drop. The immense amount of effort I put into school is one consistent quality I possess that will never disintegrate, as opposed to what one teacher said.

Middle school is basically the gateway to many factors like parties and girls for many guys. It can change people in many ways. For me, I started off as a very successful student. My grades consisted of straight “A’s” and never missed one day of school. I entered the new student life with very few friends from previous years of education so I

Middle school, that odd transitional period of grades 6, 7, and 8, is an awkward time for all. Like the overlooked middle child, middle school is granted naught in the way of remarkable characteristics (neither the care-free fun of elementary school or the expanded freedom and importance that defines high school). Such a proving ground of inelegance, though, provides a magnificent springboard, a crisp sable slate, just primed for self-reformation. Failure is a step in the process, and only notable failures can contrast themselves against an environment as imperfect as a middle school jazz band.

Thank you for your dedication to providing an excellent education system for all students in District 203. Your hard work has made the district have very high rankings and be one of the best districts in the state. As a student at Naperville Central High School, I understand that all school days are important and that they all count towards our grades. In spite of that, many Muslim students have no choice but to miss school due to an Islamic holiday called Eid. Therefore, there should be a day off on the only religious holiday that is celebrated by Muslims.

One of the many things that I have discovered to be the hardest about middle school is juggling your priorities. While Ella has transitioned out of fourth grade, an environment familiar to crafts, spelling tests, and colorful notebooks, the side she has wandered into is full of homework, math tests, and demanding teachers. There will be many nights when your friends are hanging out, but you have a mountain of work to complete. You will usually be stuck in a hard decision. But that’s where your priorities come in to play. You will have to decide between getting good grades on homework or having fun for 30 minutes. Or, if you have a project due in a few days and you know you won’t have time in the future, you put your phone down and tackle the assignment head on! Whether it is homework or a birthday bash, you will soon find out that the older you get, the more you have to prioritize.

Fifty percent of students’ state that middle school is a struggle and has changed them, here are some reasons why and how. Did you know usually for the first few days of school the student doesn’t have any or only a few friends! Another thing is it’s a big change from having one class to having six classes every day. Another reason is there is more classwork and homework to get done. To be fair, I am one of the students who stated that middle school was hard and changed me, let me explain why it was a struggle and how it changed me.

Middle school is hard. The homework, your schedule, different teachers, switching classes, friends, not having friends, different groups of friends, girls/boys, projects, band, sports, not making the sports, and homework are all a few things to mention that come along with middle school. Even thinking about these things, middle school is such an exciting, new time that needs to be enjoyed by all students. There are so many fun field trips, experiences, and sharing times, that make seventh grade an amazing time. To make the most of seventh grade, you need to always get a good night’s sleep, you need to always turn your work in on time, and you need to stay on top of all your classes, notes, and assignments.

The fear of finals, the stress of studying, the frenzy to fit in. All of these feelings boil up to one thing: Middle School. Although at times it may seem that one small incident might be the end of the world, by taking certain precautions and following basic social rules, it will seem as though you danced through your middle school years. In the midst of the rigorous academics of St. Michael’s, the perplexity of social events, and the excitement of entering the hallowed halls of high school, you can easily navigate your eighth grade journey by listening to the advice of an eighth grader who has been through it all.

“Ms.rosa, this is the eighth time your brother has gotten into a fight with mason and I just need to say that this can not be tolerated! Every fight, he has flipped tables, thrown chair and broken windows, the only thing is that your brother has not explained what exactly happened.”

When we were told we needed to write a speech we all looked at each other and didn’t know where to begin. We quickly realized we were not going to come up here and tell you that middle school was easy. We all had our struggles and challenges that were different for all of us but we all overcame them. Sometimes “every move we made felt lost with no direction,” but with the support and encouragement from our families, friends and the staff here at Baird, we were able to get through them.

nce of my fellow classmates sit in daycare, bored to death. Students in middle school have the pleasure to have chromebooks, but it gets tiresome to just watch a screen all the time. Occasionally they are not allowed to use them at all. Elementary students don’t even have the privilege of Chromebooks. Plus, how utterly horrible is it to imagine how many hours that child is staring at a computer screen? Electronics are just as horrid as T.V. This is how I came to the idea that there should be after school clubs. Multiple students have siblings in musical theater, so they must wait until 5:30 or later until the sibling is done with their practice. It’s supremely tedious to sit and watch every excruciating second go by until their parents come to pick them up. Now, you may be thinking, “We have many things to do at daycare, such as the playground and the computer lab!” That may be true, but middle schoolers are never entertained by these childish things. After school clubs would be perfect for any child at daycare, young or old.

Almost a year ago, there was a young boy by the name of Jose who caused a lot of commotion in my community. Jose was a student who attended a middle school right down the street from my high school. Although, Jose and I never met, we did have a few things in common. We both grew up in a low income community, we both walked home from school and we both had big dreams and aspirations. One day, as Jose was walking home from school he was brutally murdered. The person who assaulted Jose was looking to take his phone and money which he didn’t have, so instead he took his life.

For the middle school students who are about to enter high school, don't be afraid that it's going to be the worst experience of your life; high school is what you make of it. There will be times that you are going to run into drama, you can't avoid it, the mature thing to do is to deal with it and to not make matters worse.
