Candace Turk at Onekama School

Dear Mrs. Eldridge
I think that 7th grade is going good so far but it sure is harder. We now have to take Pre-algebra and life science!! Sometimes can be a little tricky to handle but it is really fun to be in 7th grade. Finally we are not at the bottom. Any way I know that I am going to have a lot fun in 7th grade even if it is a little harder. In our gym class we get to lift weights for our grades. I have to say it can be really fun to lift weights.
I am so excited about what is happening to our school. First we won the election. Second is that we are going to be on CNN student news for our solute to the troops. I mean I can’t wait till the new gym is built. So far this year I have played a new sport. It is volley ball. It was so much fun to be on the volley ball team because we had played it a lot in gym so I was so excited that I couldn't wait for 7th grade. I was one of the top scorers for our entire 7th grade team. It was so exciting. Also basket ball is coming up and I want to play that too. I also want to go snowboarding with my friends in the winter. It was so much fun last year and now it will be even funner in 7th grade.
Sincerely,
Emily Bergren

Dear Mrs. Eldridge, Seventh Grade is a lot harder. I'm not sure why that it is, but it is. Also I do not like that we have lockers up stairs. It’s a lot harder to deal with, with all of our books. Also we get a lot more homework. Also even though I really don't like 7th grade there are still up sides to it like that 7th grade means I'm getting older and more mature. Also I still get to go to school dances for middle school. Also we have snack break, in between 2nd hour and 3rd hour. Which is good, because I usually get hungry around then because I don't get to eat breakfast in the morning. So I have dislikes and likes about 7th grade, but to tell you the truth I still don't like 7th grade. Sincerely,
Amy Kmiecik

Dear Mrs. Eldridge,
So far I think that the seventh grade is easier than the sixth. I have been getting better grades and I have been getting better at my organizational skills. The seventh grade is has been hard at some times but after it gets hard it gets easy. I have been learning more and have been having a lot more fun. One thing that is a challenge is keeping your grades up so you can play in sports. Another thing I don't like is on some nights you get a lot of home work, but other than those two things I think that the seventh grade is awesome Sincerely,

Dear Mrs. Eldridge,
This year I am in seventh grade. I think it is really cool. For one thing, I am not one of the youngest people in the middle/high school. Also, this year I can do Solo & Ensemble in band. I like band more this year because I am not one of the youngest people there and I have gotten a lot better at the French horn (or so I think...). :) Next year, I don't think I will have as much fun because I have a tendency to make friends with people that are older than me, so almost all of my friends are eighth graders this year, and they will be in high school next year, so I won't see them as much. :( However, at the moment, seventh grade is GREAT!!!
Sincerely,

Dear Mrs. Eldridge,
I think that 7th grade is ok. I don't really like guitar and I wish we could have gym all year long. I also would have liked it better if you had shop instead of guitar. I like band a lot but I got braces and it is a little harder to play. I like all the teacher because they are cool but some are the teachers that have two moods cool but of they aren't cool they are really mean. I can't wait to get into gym because that was always my favorite class because I get to run around and be active. It is a lot of fun! We are also playing basket ball. We have a good team too. We played Brethren and we killed them. The final score was 49 to 24. I also scored a few points. I am also a starter along with Brandon Bohannon, Joe Eno, Bryce Reckow, and Derek Hobart. I love basket ball it’s a lot of fun! Sincerely,
Curtis McKenney

Dear Mrs. Eldridge,
I think 7th grade is funner than 6th grade. You can have more privileges like guitar and art half the year and gym half the year. You also have more experienced for example 4th hour you have done most of it before. You are also not looked down on as much. It is cool that you have new teachers like Mr. Bromley; he is a really nice teacher. I also like that in gym we get to go to the weight room.
Sincerely,
Daniel

Dear Mrs. Eldridge,
This year in 7th his pretty cool and is going pretty good. As a 7th grader you have a lot privileges and you can do a lot more cool things. 7th grade is really hard though to because you have a lot more homework and it is a lot harder homework. This year as a 7th grade we have done a lot of cool things like saluting our troops, prep rallies, and a lot of other things too. As a 7th grader it gets really confusing at times. The things that I do not like is that gym is at the end of the day so you have to wait all day to have some fun. Also that we are the last lunch class so when you get there you get really hungry. I also have some other teachers too like Mr. Story who is my science teacher has a really cool room and in the back there is a whole bunch of dead animals. Another new teacher that I have is Mr. Bromley and he is my gym teacher, he is really cool because he never really gets mad at people. During the year so far has been really fun and I can not wait until what we do next.
Sincerely,
Quinn

Dear Mrs. Eldridge,
This year I am in the seventh grade. This year isn't as great as last year because sixth grade is the first year of middle school and eighth grade is the last year of middle school. I don't like to be in the middle. I like to stand out. I am having fun so far, except for the homework in math I don't like it. The best part of middle school so far is going to the dances and hanging out with my friends. I hope next year is a lot better. Sincerely,
Elizabeth

7th Grade has been good so far because we are not 6th graders no more and it is 1 step closer to graduating from high school. It’s been a little boring though because you see almost the same stuff every year. But it is good that the bond got passed so we can have new rooms, cafeteria, and also gym. But 7th grade has been going good this year so far. The classes have been good and so has the teachers. Just a lot of homework. ~Brandon Bohannon

This year is a lot different than last year because we have new teachers also I know the rooms better and I know my way around a lot better. Also I know a lot more people than I did last year so I have a lot more people that I can hang out with. Also the teachers know me better so there nicer to me this year. I don't really like how seminar is at the end of second hour. I liked it better last year when it was at the end of fourth hour. I do like how at the end of the day I have study skills this year to. ....Austin Olson
