Messages From Your Teachers Dear everyone: you have had an 8th grade year like no one else in history and some of it was hard. Never forget the good stuff. It's also been a year of airplane battles, and hilarious cornstarch explosions in the lab. There's been good friendships, dances, and basketball games with roaring crowds. As you move on - be yourself, be kind, try hard, accept and learn from your mistakes, and you'll go places. Never forget how important you and your future are. Thank you for making my first year at Parlin one to remember! ~ Ms. L \"Compromise where you can. And where you can't, don't. Even if everyone is telling you that something wrong is something right, even if the whole world is telling you to move. It is your duty to plant yourself like a tree, look them in the eye and say, no. You move.\"-Captain America Civil War Thank you for such a wild and wonderful year. Now go out there and do some great things. Just don't post it on TikTok. Ms.Gertz Dear Class of 2024, You are an amazing group of bright, kind, hardworking, and hilarious humans. I am so proud of everything you’ve learned and accomplished and all the growth you’ve made this year even though our time together was cut short. You will always have a special place in my heart as my first class at the Parlin. Please come back to visit and keep in touch; I can’t wait to hear about all your adventures! Love always, Ms. Mezoff I know this isn’t exactly how you imagined finishing 8th Grade would be but I want you to know the following: I will miss you, my first 8th Grade class and it was a great experience teaching you a language that I also had to learn and that I love. Remember, you are capable anything you set your minds to! I believe in you and I cannot wait to hear about the great things you do in the 59 years ahead! Congratulations, you did it! - Mrs LaRossa
