Language Arts & Social Studies
Rooms 223 & 218
Welcome back to a new and rewarding school year. Eighth grade is a crucial year. Students should begin to think seriously about high school to prepare for the decisions and changes which they will face.My goal is that students learn the fundamental content of Reading, Writing, and Social Studies. Beyond that, I want to students to foster critical thinking, acquire life-long learning skills, and prepare students for high school. Together, we can make a positive impact in our children’s lives. Let’s help make eighth grade a memorable and successful year by committing to become college and career ready! I look forward to meeting all of you!
