My Last Day

I have been at Hillwood since kindergarten, and I can't believe I'm graduating today.  These years have gone by so fast.  I have made so many friends at Hillwood, and I am sad to leave.  I'm excited for whatever comes ahead at my years at Lowell,  where my brother, Kirk, currently goes.  Because Hillwood is such a small school, it's like I have one big family. Mr. and Mrs. Grantz have been my friends, parents away from home, and teachers.  Hillwood has been my home, and it's so hard to say goodbye.  I will try to visit as much as possible to see old friends, teachers, and pets.

Having Fun on One of the Hawaiian Islands:Maui

Have you ever been to Maui or any of the Hawaiian islands?  I have and it is on of the best places I have been to.  I love going to Maui and I am going in the summer.  I love going to Maui in the summer because it so warm and i love to visit my grandma who actually lives in Maui.  I have never been anywhere besides the beach and in my grandmas house in Maui but i know where you might enjoy some fun in the sun.

One of the first places I recommend visiting is me!  Just kidding.  I would definitely visit the beach so you can relax and go snorkeling.  At the beach you might also enjoy going kayaking with friends and family.  You also might enjoy  a ride on a boat to Molokini which is a great place for snorkeling.  Molokini was also used for target practice for the military.

You might also enjoy going to Oahu to visit the USS Arizona Memorial which is a sunken battle ship.  Other than that it is a pretty place to visit and I recommend Hawaii to visit if you ever have no idea where to go for the summer.

A Word from a Graduate

This year at Hillwood there are three 8th graders, Angela, Anya, and Rubina. Angela is going to Bay, Anya to Lowell, Rubina to SOTA. All three are very sad to leave a school they have called their home for so many years.

Anya has been at Hillwood the longest out of the three. She has attended this school since Kindergarten. In second grade, she met a new student Rubina; and since then they have been together. It was in sixth grade that Rubina and Anya came to school just to see a new girl sitting in one of the desks. This was Angela. The three of them have stayed loyal to Hillwood for the time they spent at Hillwood.

I. Rubina, will miss Hillwood very much. All three of us got into huge high schools. Well, compared to Hillwood's homely environment, almost any school will seem huge! Of course I can't wait to go to another school, but I will miss Hillwood very much. I will also miss the people at Hillwood. I know almost everyone in the school, student wise. In SOTA, I won't be able to know everyone! I will also miss the fact that there are only three graduates.

Just because I'm gone doesn't mean I will never see Hillwood again.
