Weekly Recap

As we wrap up our last full day of classes, our hearts are full. These final moments of the school year are always bittersweet—filled with pride, reflection, and anticipation for what’s to come.

To our amazing 8th graders: we are so proud of the incredible young people you’ve become. Watching you grow into confident, capable leaders has been a true joy. As you take your next steps toward Walt Whitman High School, know that we believe in you and can’t wait to see all the wonderful things you’ll accomplish.

To our rising 8th grade class: your energy, creativity, and curiosity have brightened our days. We’re already looking forward to another year of learning, laughter, and growth together.

We’ve loved being a part of each student’s middle school journey—the milestones, the challenges, the small wins, and the big achievements. Thank you for allowing us to be part of your story.

Wishing all of our Stimson families a safe, happy, and productive summer. Rest, recharge, and take care of one another. We’ll be here, ready to welcome you back for another great year!
