End Of The Year Countdown

Ending the School Year

The last day of school
We finally escape
From waking up early
And not going to bed late

The countless projects
In all of the blocks
The typing and writing
By every off clock

I don't think we'll miss
Broken pencils and pens,
But I can't say the same
For all of my friends

We'll meet in the summer
And go in the pond
Swimming through the day
Until the sunlight is gone

We will ALL miss
By the end of the season
Our middle school
For whatever reason

Whether it be friends
Or playing at recess
Or sports after school

We'll miss G.B.S.

Poem by Jamie Ammon- Goodbye eighth graders! Have fun at Conval!

Student of the Year

Students of the Year buckle up for a wild ride! We are going to Canobie! Canobie Lake Park is a theme park filled with fun. We will leave at 8am and be back at 3:30pm. It will be tons of fun, but don't forget to bring a swim suit. "It was fun in the past and it should be great this time!" say Julianna Stone a Student of the Middle Years. This trip is only for Student of the Year. Student of the Year is being Student of the Month every month. If you didn't get it this year try for next year because it is definitely worth it.

Goodbye Great Brook

There are only a couple of days left until the 8th grade is in high school! Some cant wait to go to ConVal others are scared. This will be a big difference but a fun one. 8th grade will rejoin with other fellow GBS students as well as meet new kids from South Meadow School. The teachers from GBS have prepared the 8th graders for high school throughout the whole year and have done a great job. The kids at Great Brook will miss it dearly but they are ready for ConVal. I'm sure the students will come back and visit and they will always remember there time at Great Brook. There memories consist of the field trips to Lowell, Exchange City, Gregg Lake and of course Washington DC and there are many more. We will remember them forever but its time to say goodbye the GBS. So from all of the 8th graders to Great Brook School Goodbye for now and best wishes to you!

SEMI FORMAL!

I'm sure you have all heard the buzz about semi? For eighth grade only, every year we have the semi formal dance. This year it will be held on June 10th. For now the time is 7-9:00 pm but it could possibly change so keep your ears open! Cost later will be announced. This is a formal dance so dress up! Don't feel obligated to have a date, going with friends is always acceptable! For the girls, please make sure your dress is an appropriate style. This is a special night, towards the end of your eighth grade year. Make it worthwhile!

End of the Year Countdown!

Seventh, sixth and fifth graders will have 21days left in school! Lucky eighth graders, however, will have just 20 days minus one for the day long camping trip!
