8th Grade Life

8th grade students reflect on what makes a successful year

As the 25-26 school year comes to an end, Monroe’s eighth graders reflect on a year filled with friendships, leadership, growth, and unforgettable memories. 

Many students shared that they enjoy spending time with friends outside, playing sports, and talking.  “I like how I can talk and laugh with (my friends),” shares Anais A, “because it makes me feel good.”

Memories have been also made participating in sports and school events.  Emily K. shared that she enjoys working with her teammates as well as improving on her sport skills.  Several Girls’ Volleyball team members have said that it was their favorite sport and that they had been looking forward to it all year.

Many 8th grade students have also said that time management has become a little more difficult this year with higher level academics, more requirements and higher expectations.

Through fun moments, challenges, and “last” experiences, many agreed on one piece of advice: enjoy the moment and make the most of your time because it goes by fast.
