Dear (almost) 9th graders,   While distance learning has felt like an eternity (notice the hyperbole here), it is important to remember that most of eighth grade was in school, and there is so much learning that shouldn’t be forgotten. We started out the year reading Night (notice how the title is italicized), and facing the harsh reality of Elie Wiesel’s past. You all showed me your maturity while respecting this text. We read the short story, “Flowers for Algernon” (notice how the title is in quotes), and we were reminded that not all conflicts can be resolved and to always be kind to everyone. The Outsiders reminds us that there are stereotypes and cliques, but we are all people with feelings, challenges, and goals. You participated in Socratic Seminars, and I am always so proud of you all when I watch these, as quiet students feel confident enough to contribute, and talkative students discuss with passion. We also had Music Analysis Days, and this activity was more than practicing identifying Literary Devices. Now, wherever I am, when I hear a song that one of you played, I am reminded of this class and I am reminded of the themes that you pointed out. I hope these songs remind you of positive memories at Central, and the themes help you through any obstacles in high school. While the themes we have discovered in books, short stories, songs, and poems are all meaningful and a part of your journey forward, it is important to reflect on your final assignment in this class: something that you are proud of during quarantine. Before even entering high school, you all are already Warriors, ready to face obstacles, disappointments, or anything that comes your way. You all found the positive when so much was taken from you. I think the most important things we all can take away from this experience is to have empathy for others, to be grateful for the little things, and to find the silver lining (notice the idiom here). There is always a message to be found, a connection to be made, and a story to be told. Keep this in mind when contributing to class discussions! Being a “quarantined graduate” is a chapter in your story. Have confidence and perseverance as you enter high school and write the next chapter. I feel so lucky to have gotten to know you all. I too, have learned so much, as we are all really in this together. Remember to always be confident and stay true to yourself...and don’t forget to cite textual evidence! Congratulations on graduating! Your ninth grade teachers are lucky to meet you.                   Stay gold!                         Sincerely, Mrs. DeBiasse (and my unofficial co-teacher,  Anthony)

Dear 8th graders,

I know you have all been through a lot these last 3 months.  It has not been easy for anyone! Teaching my first grade son while we’ve been doing remote learning has made me realize what a pleasure it is to teach 8th grade!!! I am sorry that you missed out on the end of the year events that help bond the 8th grade class each year. I am sad to have missed all of the events myself! It’s OK to be sad but do your best to keep your head up and look to the future.  Our lives will go back to normal some time soon and you will be complaining about having to wake up so early for school and having so many activities that you’re too busy to do your homework! You are a resilient group of kids.  I look forward to hearing about all of your accomplishments going forward!

“Life is ten percent what happens to you and ninety percent how you respond to it.”

To my darling eighth graders: It seems like just yesterday that you were entering Millington School as second graders. We became a "second grade family" together and formed a strong bond. And now here you are--on your way to forming new bonds and happy experiences. I am so proud of you . I will continue to cherish the memories of our year together. You will ALWAYS have a special place in my heart. Remember each day to THINK, WORK, TRY, LEARN, BELIEVE, and BE JOYFUL!!!! (In case you have forgotten, that was our daily class pledge!). Love you always, Ms. Snow

I hope if you learned anything through "distance learning" it is that you get out of your education what you yourselves put into it. High school is when it all counts, make the most of it. Put in your best effort and you will see great results. In school you are taught a lesson and then given a test. In life you are given a test which teaches you a lesson! Pay attention to it. Whatever you do in life, make us proud to say "I was his/her teacher."

You are flying the coop!  I remember when we practiced using locks for the first time in sixth grade!  It was a pleasure seeing you grow from not sure tweens to robust teens who have even more fully developed your individual senses of style, points of view, and general identities.  I hope you will be like Walt Whitman and "filter" all the influences in your life and become your best selves. That is the greatest goal. Remember, in the process, be kind, strong, and full of gratitude.  Be well and visit us.
