Eighth Grade Reflection
Over the course of eighth grade I have learned and experienced many new, exciting things.

Being in eighth grade has allowed me to develop new friendships, try different sports, and discover more about myself and my goals. The memories I have created, and the things I have learned have made the past 180 days
