GIRL WHO IS HAPPY
Middle School South
You're a teenage right? So why not embrace it?
You are BEAUTIFUL; for every person who has called you ugly (how could they?), there is someone who loves you. You are beautiful, but only if you choose to show it.
You are POWERFUL; you can make changes. You might not know but your powers are unlimited.
You are COLORFUL; you are made up of the wackiest and weirdest shades. But that's what makes you you.

Tips From a Sevie

I remember my 6th grade years, the unforgiving locker grief that always seem to pop up at the wrong time, the HUGE difference about sitting at the 8-chair table or the 10-chair table, and the constant worry about being “in”. A whole year has gone by and here I am! Still alive and okay. The year last year was hard, but I got through it, and now I’m creating a little imaginary Q & A just for you new sixies!

How much do you know about Mrs. Waitz? We're here to tell you some interesting facts and stories about her life. Interested? Keep reading.
You might think that it was her dream to become a teacher, since she's sooo great at it, but in truth, she never planned on it. The only reason she decided to try it was because you didn't have to learn a foreign language. In making this choice, she ending up finding her dream job. She started teaching in 1973, when she was 21. As for children, she would risk her life for them. But for parents and administrators, she can definitely live without them.

May 18 was Career Day at Hawthorn Middle School South. Because it was a half-day, you went to four careers. To complete the day, we finished with a survey.
What I did: physical therapist- He showed us some really cool demonstrations and taught us about PTs (physical trainers). How many muscles do you have? He answered that too!
software developer- We had a raffle, in which I won a notebook binder. Other prizes included a thermos and a mug. He told us the steps in which he took, what projects he had done, and answered tons of question. It was very interesting!

Eighth graders are you ready for high school? Some of you might be scared while others are totally confident that you are completely ready, but watch what you say, because you might be wrong.
In high school there is no homeroom, so when you get there you go straight to your first period class. Lunch will be a little longer but half of the period will be a study hall. In high school lunch and other foods, supposedly, tastes better. High school can be cool, put scary. Just remember these tips . . .

You know the girls and guys who won’t let anyone else in their little group and won’t let anyone out of the group? You know the girls and guys who only like the other ‘popular’ girls and guys and everyone else outside the group is an alien? Those people are known as the ‘popular group’ at school, but really what we wanted to know was, what really is popular? Everyone has a different point of view of what popular means and I really wanted to know what people thought that popular meant. I think that you will be really surprised at what people said.
