Interviewing New Students

            This year, St. Croix Middle School has received 26 new students. There are six 6^th graders, fourteen 7^th graders, and five 8^th graders. A few days ago, my partner and I asked some of them a few question.

            We rounded up some of the new kids and asked them a few questions:

            “How has your first month at St. Croix Lutheran Middle School been?” we asked.  Lindsey, a new 6^th grader, said, “ So far it’s been good.”

            “Do you have any favorite subjects?” my partner asked. Athena, another new sixth grader, replied, “I like art class best.”

            “What school did you go to before coming to St. Croix?” Karen, a new 7^th grader from Korea, stated, “I went to Bulam Middle School.”

            “Why did you decide to come to St. Croix Middle School?” Jesse, a new eighth grader, said, “My parents thought it would be good.”

            My last and final question: “ Do you like it here?”

            Lindsey, Athena, Karen, and Jesse say: “YES! I LOVE IT HERE!!!!”
