8th Grade End of Year Note

It seems like we were just welcoming you to seventh grade ELP and now we are saying goodbye! Over the past two years many of you have learned 150 new words, written letters, done experiments, entered competitions, created portfolios, examined and debated issues, strengthened creative problem solving skills, solved problems, written stories, skits, and plays, created puppets, performed, polished, perfected projects....the list of your accomplishments is a lengthy one.

We have loved being part of your Ames Middle School  experience and wish you all the best as you continue your educational journey. Stay in touch!

Seventh Grade End of Year Note

Award ceremonies are over,  papers have been returned, yearbooks are being signed, all signs that the 2011-2012 school year is drawing to a close. 


It has been our privilege to work with you this past year and we look forward to seeing you all in August.  Until then, read some good books, have a few adventures, and learn something new. We can't wait to hear about your summer!  Until August...


Mrs. Staniforth and Mrs. Dixon
