811: 2009-2010 Grade 8 Homeroom

Another awesome year with another awesome homeroom. They lived up to the tradition strongly as being a dominant force in the school in all contests. We almost took all of them, earning no fewer than 6 pizza parties. We won for Hat Day (2nd place), Toy Drive, Clothing Drive, Senior Dues, parent surveys, and the March of Dimes.

Lot of characters in the group, always invloved with stuff. Good memories liek the Freddy library ban, Blayse fighting with anything that breathes, Sedrak misplacing his head inside his trousers, Rebecca travelling the world to win competetions and still make everyone in school look stupid, a lot of great people building me a hat and decorating the door, scrambling to crush the rest of the grade in every contest, and of course, half the class leaving every morning to run errands for Firenze, McCarthy, Orlando, Stancavage, and Mr. Leventhal. Special shout out to Mr. Leventhal for once again being a second homeroom teacher to the class, always quick to offer advice to anyone who asked or didn't ask (especially the crew in the back near my desk).

It was great that a lot of them were in my IA math class, the group was clearly a collection of mature, self-driven individuals. the few that were not in my math class I wish were.

I feel a strong bond with this group, and I am sure I will keep in touch with them. The school gets its good rep from groups like this one.
