Sixth grade students at Patrick M. Villano School will graduate in June after three years at the school.
“I am definitely going to miss everyone,” Louie Burke said. “I am glad for all my teachers who supported me so shout out to them.”
Amaya Kochis said she’s made a lot of memories and friends. She’s anticipating some changes at the Emerson Junior-Senior High School.
“I think the teachers are going to be a little strict in high school,” Kochis said. “I also can’t wait for the academic clubs and waking up early.”
Both Kochis and Burke said they’re looking forward to the frozen yogurt machine in the cafeteria.
Allison McLaughlin has been teaching middle school Math for the past nine years.
“I like getting to know everybody, and I like seeing them grow and get to high school,” she said.
