   Super Seven--Still Together!
As 8th graders...and now as adults married or on their own in 2014!
Pictured above is one of my all-time favorite groups of eighth graders.  Why? Well, they were respectful, really cared about their grades, treated their classmates kindly, and always supported each other--never any power struggles and NO DRAMA!!  No wonder they went to college and are now experiencing sweet success!
