To the Sawpit Academy students of 2019-2020,

Thank you. Thank you for putting up with my awesomely-lame jokes. Thank you for showing me that students have the internal motivation to succeed. Thank you for embodying the growth mindset and not giving up after a failed attempt; but having learned from it and after more attempts, you found success. Thank you for making me laugh. Thank you for keeping math interesting even though I know that you don't think it can be. Thank you for persevering and rising to the occasion. This was not an easy year for us, but it sure will be a memorable one.

If you need me, you know where you can find me. Thank you.

Best,
Mr. Hanlon

Congratulations to one of the coolest and smartest groups I have ever taught. It was my absolute pleasure to be able to be your 6th grade math teacher and watch you grow into marvelous young adults over the past three years. I will miss the numerous visits (and class interruptions) from those of you who knew where to find me. You all have managed to put a smile on my face whenever I needed it most and even though I was the one who was supposed to be teaching you, I have learned an awful lot from each and every one of you. Continue to be your amazing selves and never stop reaching for the stars. Remember that the future is yours and “nothing is impossible...the word itself says I’m possible”. Wishing you the best of luck in high school...YOU GOT THIS!

Don’t be a stranger, I’m here if you ever need me...seriously!

With love,
Ms. Pennino

You did it!!! You are a class that has been through challenges during middle school like no other. Because of this, you will leave here stronger, wiser, and more empathetic. I wish you all the best. Have fun, do your work, and remember to visit us!

Congratulations!

Love, Mrs. Rascona

Thank you for being such an awesome group of students and making our class so much fun last year. I loved sharing with you the wonderful world of History. Its hard to believe you're all going to High School! You guys made Columbus Park Academy the absolute BEST and 7th grade so enjoyable! I often think back at our times together and  have only good memories filled with many many laughs. I learned a lot from all of you, so thank you for that. I wish you all much success in the future and I hope you continue loving History, which as we all know is the best subject ever :). It was a pleasure being your teacher.

I miss you all!

Hello Sawpit Academy!

I hope that this trying time has shown you the resilience you all have. No, you didn’t get to experience all the normal events that celebrate your completion of middle school but I do hope it has taught you to not take all the little things for granted. Like seeing friends, being in school and sharing a hug. I will appreciate all of the times you made me laugh and smile. I will definitely think of you fondly! I wish we got to celebrate your accomplishments in person and say goodbye but I have a feeling we’ll have visitors next school year from the High School :) Until I see you next!

It has been a wild and crazy year for so many reasons.  However, I would not have lived this year with anyone else but the Team of Sawpit.  As you move forward, remember you make your future and  can reach for the stars.

Thank you for giving me the opportunity to learn with you and from you .  May you continue to read and learn what ever your heart desires.

Best wishes for your future.
Thank you.

Congrats to the PCMS class of 2020. Always remember to try your best in all that you do, especially as you enter high school. You have grown so much in the past 3 years and I can’t wait to see what the future holds for each of you!

Although, your 8th grade year is not ending the way you originally planned... I know that you will all grow and use this experience as a driving force for your future. As you look back on PCMS always remember the spirit days, school dances, JA days, holiday concerts, awards assemblies, morning announcements, friends you made along the way, laughs in the cafeteria, elbows on the basketball court or soccer field but most importantly the teachers who believed in you and will continue to be there for you whenever you need .

Congrats to the class of 2020! Hard work pays off !

Sawpit!! It was a pleasure to get to know you in the short time we had together. As weird of a final year of middle school this was for you it was a weird first year at PCMS for me too!! Throughout this entire experience we all have to do our best to find the positives. I know this was not the 8th grade year you had planned for but it one you won’t forget. You are all living in history. One day we will all look back at this time and say remember when....we had to stay home from work and school, we had to stay 6ft apart from people, we all had to wear masks in public, all stores that were non-essential were closed. It is a strange time we are living but learn what you can from it and use this experience  as you head into high school. We are in this together. Thank you all for this year, I won’t forget it 😊

Hello students!
Wow! It is unbelievable how fast the time flies! I still remember the first day you came to school and sat in my room. You really came a long way! This is your day. Congratulations! It has been a real pleasure to teach you and to watch you mature and grow every single day.  Thank you for  teaching me about your culture and for being kind and respectful students. Keep setting your academic goals and don't let anybody or anything prevent you from reaching your dreams.

¡Hola Chicos!
Me cuesta trabajo creer que os esté escribiendo unas palabras de agradecimiento en vuestro anuario.  El tiempo va demasiado rápido. Aún me acuerdo de vuestro primer día de escuela. Hoy es un día muy especial para vosotros. ¡Enhorabuena! Ha sido un verdadero placer daros clases y veros crecer y madurar cada día. Muchísimas gracias por compartir vuestra cultura conmigo y por vuestro continuo respeto y amabilidad. Continúen  estudiando , y no dejen que nada ni nadie se interponga en vuestro camino para alcanzar vuestros deseados sueños.

Hey guys! It sure was a great time getting to know you all, even though our time was cut short. The one thing that stands out to me about this academy is all the awesome personalities! Remember to be yourself, work hard, be honest,  and always do the very best that you can do in anything that you do.

A mis chicos (ya saben quien son) ¡ hay que seguir pa’ lante! Seán trabajadores y honestos, y ya verán cómo se cumplen sus sueños!! !Buena suerte, y recuerden que aquí tienen alguien con quien pueden confiar!

Ciao ragazzini belli. First of all, congratulations to every single one of you! You should be very proud of what you have accomplished up to now.  I cannot wait for what's ahead for you.

I feel very bless to have had the opportunity to be your teacher for a year and a half. I know that we are living unprecedented times and it's difficult to comprehend it all but I am truly amazed at the  dedication put forth during our distance learning. I know that you will accomplish greatness. Don't forget:

Congratulations guys! You've all done a great job this year, especially overcoming such an unusual situation.  Thank you for making my year great, and I hope you've all had an awesome time as well.  You're all well prepared for high school and if you ever need anything, you know where to find me

This was a year like no other. We've shared a difficult and unexpected part of history together. We have all been challenged this spring. Whether the challenge has been to stay home or to keep physically away from our friends and family or even to learn new classwork outside of school,  you have tried to meet that task. I am so proud of you.

Carry those lessons on to PCHS. Continue to be brave and strong. Take care of each other.

Remember RAMS are
Resilient
Awesome
Motivated
Special People

With Love,
Mrs. Waldmann

Hola mis burros :)  It has been a very interesting year with a lot of ups and downs.  As you move up to the high school, remember that life will always have its challenges.  It is how you react to those challenges that define you as a person.  Your teachers are always here to support you and to help you achieve your best life.  We will miss you!

Ha sido un año muy interesante con muchos altibajos. A medida que avanza a la escuela secundaria, recuerde que la vida siempre tendrá sus desafíos. Es cómo reaccionas a esos desafíos que te definen como persona. Tus maestros siempre están aquí para apoyarte y ayudarte a lograr tu mejor vida. ¡Te extrañaremos!

Congrats Sawpit!!! Besy of luck at the high school next year. It was a pleasure having your academy in technology this year. You know where to find me at the middle school. Come say hello down the road.

Sawpitters - well, this was definitely the weirdest year ever!  And you can say that with pride: "I was part of the weirdest year ever at Sawpit!"  In the long run, however, those who made the most of this weird year will be the best prepared for what they call "The Real World."  You did your best to stay positive and productive despite some very real challenges.  You were able to keep up with your school work and - most important - you showed that you could be self-motivated learners.  Self motivated people are the best - they move the world forward - and someday they will be you!
Now, follow my last link and enjoy some rather unflattering pictures of yourselves ☆*:.｡.o(≧▽≦)o.｡.:*☆

To the Sawpit Academy,

I will always hold a very special place in my heart for each and every one of you; you began your journey at PCMS in September 2017, which was also when I began my journey at PCMS! You are the first class that I have had the privilege of working with for 3 years, and it has been so rewarding to watch you all grow in so many ways. I am so proud of all of your accomplishments and can’t wait to see what the future holds for each of you. I wish you the best of luck at PCHS! Take advantage of all the wonderful opportunities that the high school has to offer. And don’t forget to come back to visit! Have a fun and relaxing summer, you all deserve a break!

Best wishes,

Ms. Smook
