| " I think the best
part about this year for me was moving to a nice town and meeting
new friends and feeling so welcome. I was just the shy, new girl at
the beginning of the year, but now I think of my class as my second
family." (female, grade seven) |
| |
| "I think that the
best part of this year was probably Mr. Lenox's science class because
you get to build, break and find out how to make your design better
than it was before." (male, grade seven) |
| |
| "My favorite part
about being in this school is seeing all my friends and being able
to hang out with them. The friendly environment is also good. All
the teachers are really nice and most of the students are nice also.
The school is very clean and I guess that's good too." (male,
grade nine) |

| "Here at Crowther
Memorial I had a great year, I love going to this school because no
matter what you are doing, you have fun." (female, grade 8) |
| |
| "My school year was
an interesting one. I moved from Calgary to Strathmore and was a little
nervous about starting school. But once I got here, things took a
turn for the best and I had friends the very first day!!! (male, grade
8) |
| |
| "I loved this first
year in Junior High and I am glad I have two more years of it."
(female, grade 7) |
| |
| "The only thing I
didn't like this year was my report card. Everything else was good."
(male, grade 8) |
| |
| "My first year at
Crowther Memorial was pretty cool. I mean at first it was pretty scary
when I'd get in trouble for being late, but I got the point that being
on time is very important.
I learned how to be more like a young adult. This school year has
made me change my view of the real world out there. Not all things
are handed to you! And now I know to hand my assignments in on time...
and that the best excuses you have about your homework not being handed
in do not fool your teachers one bit!" (female, grade 7) |
| |
| "The biggest difference
between Junior High and Elementary school is the teachers don't treat
you like little kids anymore. You have a lot more responsibility and
a lot more freedom...which is great." (female, grade 7) |
| |
| "WOW! Junior High
is awesome! We get way more priveleges than when we were in Elementary.
My year has been great. There has been so many activities and clubs
to join. You also don't have teachers breathing down your neck 24/7
and everyone expects more from you. It's a big change. Crowther Memorial
has been a life changing experience and I am really glad I get to
stay here for two more hears, because this year has been great!"
(female, grade 7) |
| |
| "This is my first
year at Crowther Memorial. I've noticed that this school is very easy
to fit in to." (male, grade 8) |
| |
| "The good part about
having so many people at your school is you can make friends who like
the same stuff as you." (male grade 7) |
| |
| "This year was an
awesome year for my first time in a Junior High. The biggest fear
I had when I came here from my Elementary school was that I wouldn't
know anyone and nobody would be my friend. But, it has been the complete
opposite! I have lots of great friends and best of all, I was able
to make lots and lots of new ones!" (female, grade 7) |
| |
| "This
school year has been the best one of my life. I have really grown
to love this school even though I was so scared when I came here.
The best part of the year for me was meeting new people and having
such wonderful teachers teach me. They are all great and I am sad
that I will have different teachers in grade eight, but it's good
too because I'll have new teachers to fall in love with for their
teaching." (female, grade 7) |
