8 GOLD! Congratulations to our awesome students who have worked hard ALL year and did PHENOMENAL during our Color Wars event. I'm so proud of each one of them! They are all such great students. It's bittersweet that we're near the end of the year, but it is not a final goodbye yet—although it is the last blog post of the year.
Families, I would love feedback on the blog posts and what could help improve them for future years. If you have some time to complete this form it would be greatly appreciated: https://forms.gle/tsrkjz4UEGquPhWM7
Now... as we wind down for the year, in science we have debated, discussed, and explored environmental science topics within the last few weeks related to reducing human environmental impact on the planet. We looked closely at the geographical regions of Pennsylvania and we debated what type of energy could be best for the state that would cause the least harm. Students enjoyed debating and we have some great quick-witted minds on the team! It was fun observing and watching as they used what they learned to argue and discuss.
Over the next few days, the team will be running special schedules. There are some final academic things to do for some classes. In my class, if your student has any missing work I expect to have it turned in by tomorrow (5/31) but if they need more time, depending on the assignment, I'll allow until Monday. Students reading this, please check PowerSchool for missing work, I also gave out missing work sheets in class the other day.
Finally, I am going to miss the Class of 2028 a lot! This year has been fantastic. We have had a lot of fun and I'm looking forward to seeing them all graduate. This was my second year teaching, my third year at GHMS, but they have all made a huge impact on me and I hope that they have grown to love science a little bit more each day this year. Thank you families for your support and thank you to all my students for a great year! Good luck 8 Gold on your transition to High School!

Have a great summer,
