The sense of community, the anticipation of graduating, and our upbeat classroom spirit are the first things I think of when I look back on my experiences there. Our eighth grade classroom may not look any different from standard classrooms; one wall displays a brilliantly bright whiteboard, the other holds windows which peer down onto the playground below, and various memos, posters, and particularly good assignments…

at Mary Queen, I have made many friendships, learned many things, and grown in faith. I am very grateful to be able to go to a Catholic grade school and go to a Catholic high school next year.

Bittersweet Eighth Grade Promotion After attending Desert Harbor Elementary School for nine years from kindergarten through eighth grade, I made many great memories as well as gone through some obstacles.

The first thing in the morning after I brushed my teeth and put on a t-shirt and pants, my oldest sister drove me to a nail salon. After I got my manicure, we went back home.

much more than just my academics, I am also my talents and morals. It has been slowly throughout my high school career that I have brought back my passion for learning.
