Alex D. is today’s feature on Ask an 8th Grader!
What is your best memory of your time in Maercker District 60?
Going to IMEC in 7th grade with the Westview Gold Band.
Who is a teacher who made an impact on you during your time here?
Mrs. Ogrodnik made an impact on me because she helped me get better at math and more importantly let me be me during class.
What are you interested in doing for your future?
I want to work as either a software engineer or a theme park engineer.
What advice do you have for students starting at Westview Hills Middle School next year?
When people tell you middle school is scary, they are very wrong. Middle school was the best part of my life, from going on school trips to making new friends. Don't be scared, for middle school is just an extension of elementary school and there is nothing to be scared of.
