Seventh graders here at Springville Junior High are all pumped up to be becoming eighth graders next year as the year comes to a close.  At SJHS, the seventh graders are known as the “sevvies”, or in other words, the new kids at the school.  So as you could probably imagine that most of them are excited to be moving up a step higher in junior high.

Stacia Davenport, a seventh grader at SJHS, stated, “I’m looking forward to making a lot of new friends, and I’m excited for some new classes to be opening up to us!”

Eighth graders have more elective classes to choose from, such as foods, sewing, and Spanish.  They have a lot more choices in what they think they’ll be interested in the future.

Mr. Trent Mikesell, a seventh and eighth grade English teacher, stated, “Seventh grade is a really fun grade to teach.  Seventh graders have a lot of energy and most seem to enjoy school, so I will miss my classes and students; they are all outstanding in their own way.”

As you can tell, everyone is excited for another year to be over and done with.  As we all prepare for a new school year seventh and eighth graders alike are all getting pumped up to be moving to another grade, at the same school, and with different classes.
