The seventh graders are the school’s new generation of SJHS Knights. They are not to go unnoticed in the halls after school. What is the personality of this mass of 307 students?
I interviewed seventh graders from three of the schools contributing to the population about their favorite parts of the day, as well as what their favorite classes are, and what they like about elementary more than junior high.
Science, technology, cooking, sewing, and English are all big on Cooper Fullmer’s agenda. Though he will be unable to accomplish all of this in his seventh grade year, he is looking forward to his eighth and ninth grade year with much enthusiasm.
What do these new kids think of their classes? “I like being able to learn things I hadn’t been able to before,” says Julian Sad, a seventh grader from Cherry Creek Elementary.
Many seventh graders miss elementary but are happy with the new changes. “I wish we still had recess,” says Hunter Hamberlin, a former Brookside Tiger.
Many kids like the transition more than others such as Cooper Fullmer who calls it “just better.”
Where did they all come from is a question commonly asked by the older students at SJHS. These kids came from four different schools and the last tally not including those students, who have moved, is as follows: Art City provides the bulk with 102 students. Brookside provides 85. Westside totals at 84. Cherry Creek adds 42, for a grand total of 307. This does not include those students who have moved since the beginning of the school year
These seventh graders are a big part of our school, and we would like to thank them for helping with the great atmosphere at SJHS.
