Considering how bad a rap middle school gets in pop culture, the playful camaraderie of Parkmont’s Middle School can feel like a magic trick. At the Moving Up ceremony for our eight eighth graders on June 9, we felt that magic in abundance. These eighth graders brought lots of joyful energy to class that made learning fun, says Nijole Gedutis, Parkmont’s Assistant Head of School. Nijole, who has taught Middle School Reading Group for more than 20 years, says she “had as much fun teaching this eighth grade class as I’ve had teaching any eighth grade class.” That is very high praise, indeed! Congratulations on completing middle school and having so much fun in the process! Annabelle, Cal, Isla, Kim, Leo, Milo, Parnyan, and Sol, we are so proud of each and every one of you. Go forth and enjoy the summer!
