| From 2011/12 year end |
If you would rather use your own blog, refer us to it. Many pictures from the year are available through a link on "homework". Maybe you would prefer to do something more creative there after writing something below.
I can't believe how fast it all went. We had lots of "firsts" this year, but what wasn't new about this year's 14ers: you are kind to one another and you were definitely unique (added detail for clarity... you are unique in a VERY GOOD way!)
I still can't believe we're leaving Manchester next Friday! I've been here since 2nd grade and I would have thought the last day of school would have come so quickly! I can just think of good memories that I will remember When I think of my 5 years at the wonderful Manchester G.A.T.E.
ReplyDeleteI am very sad that we're leaving Manchester GATE. :( I can't believe that the 6th grade year is almost over! We got learn a lot more about everyone in our classroom, and it feels like a family in our room. Like Emily D said, I will remember my 3 years at Manchester GATE
ReplyDeleteI agree with Emily. I just can't believe we're going to leave Manchester. I've been here for almost half of my life, and I'll be gone in five days. I'm going to miss everyone, but at least I'll see some people at Computech. I've done so many things here: learnt to act, sing, play the violin, and I played the bassoon in band here, although I didn't learn it. I'll be sure to come back and visit, though, and I'll never forget Manchester G.A.T.E.
ReplyDeleteI am so sad that we are leaving Manchester! I met so many new people here, and made so many friends that are great! Also, the people here are so nice. I probably would have never gotten into Computech if I did not go to Manchester. I wish I didn't have to leave. Hopefully I will have as great of a time next year as I did the other years.
ReplyDeleteI can't believe it, our Manchester GATE journey is over! I wonder what would have happened if I didn't come to Manchester. I will never forget all the great memories Manchester brought me. Manchester opened so much opportunities to me. I will never forget about Manchester, ever.
ReplyDeleteThis year has been a great experience! I really can't believe we are almost done at Manchester!!! I can still remember when we had buddies in room 14 and they we TALL!! There have been SO many great things that I have learned and had fun with this year!! I just can't believe it is ending!!! "Tear!"
ReplyDeleteEven though I only came in 5th Grade to Manchester, I still feel like I have been here my whole life. I am so grateful for coming to Manchester and experiencing being a G.A.T.E.r. I am very upset that my Manchester career is almost over. I will miss my teachers and friends that I have met during my two years at Manchester.
ReplyDeleteWOW!!! Ican't believe we actually have to leave Manchester!!! I have been here since third grade and have had many, many great memories. I am going to miss all my friends and teachers!!! This year has been a lot of fun! We have danced, acted, stretched, and a lot more!!! I think it's crazy that my Manchester career is almost over
ReplyDeleteI still can't believe this year is basically over......... I just remember starting my career in 3 rd grade and thinking this will be a long time here but it turns out it wasn't. I will miss all my teachers and friends and I will hope to see them again. I am going to make the most out of this last week..... because a lot of these people I won't see again.
ReplyDeletePS: I am finally going to let people sign my year book!
Like JJ, I have been at Manchester for about half my life. My parents always say that "another year flew by". It is true with all five years that I have been at Manchester. I am very sad that I will leave Manchester... and some friends.
ReplyDeleteAs already stated, I am extremely sad that I actually have to end this year in one week. This has been the BEST year ever (also, the best school ever). I too made many strong friends here and my life would be a little sadder without them. Being a room 14er and a GATEr is a one in a lifetime experience and although I am sad it is coming to a close, I am very happy that I got to be a part of it.
ReplyDeleteAHHHHHHHHH! I don't wan't to leave! I've been here since Fourth grade but still love the school as if it was the first week I got to Manchester. It's ironic to because at I could have began Manchester in second grade, but I thought it would be a scary castle like school in the middle of the woods gated away from the rest of society. I didn't like that idea. But i'll go cry in a corner now(sob).
ReplyDeleteAbout the middle of May, I was thinking, "Don't worry, we still have some time." Now it's a whole different story. There's only five days left of Manchester Gate/Elementary school! It's going to be a very different experience to go to multiple classes and no heartwarming, homeroom teacher! It's hard to believe that the last week of school has basically started.
ReplyDeleteEver since second grade, I've always thought, "Oh, another year at Manchester is gone, at least I have some more to go." Unfortunately, this year, that isn't the case. I still can't believe I'm not going to Manchester next year, it just doesn't seem real. I will never forget the good friends I have made at this school, or the memories! Bye, Manchester!
ReplyDeleteAlright, I wanted to see if I could leave a short comment, but I'm far too annoying to do that. So, here's this garbage:
ReplyDeleteI came to Manchester in fourth grade. I remember hating the idea, and not wanting to leave my friends back at my old school (who I totally didn't forget I had until just this moment). But, after my first few days at the school, I realized it wasn't so bad. A few days more, and I decided it was a decent school. A week or two later, I decided I actually liked the school.
And now, here I am, two years later, and the idea of leaving twists my heartstrings.
I seriously just wrote "twists my heartstrings." That is something you read in horribly written romance novels. YOU SEE WHAT THIS SCHOOL HAS DONE TO ME?
I-- Just-- Don't want to leave. I can't say it's because I'll miss everyone, because there are a few people here I'll be thanking my lucky stars I'll never have to see again (I hope). And I can't say I'll be missing my innocent, wonderful life as an elementary school kid, because I honestly could care less.
I'm going to miss the school itself, and its essence.
I'll miss all the weird looking trees, and the ridiculous traffic in the mornings and at pick up times, and the teachers who are jerks, and the teachers who really make this school what it is, and the morning announcements that all start and end with the same thing everyday...
Alright, I'm already boring myself to death with this comment, so I'll just finish with something dull and generic. Uh.
I hope you all have beautiful lives and beautiful children and I love you all. Yes. That is it.
I FEEL THE SAME WAY ABOUT MANCHESTER (except I liked Manchester from the very first day).
DeleteHey Erin, I will never forget you!!! I will also never ever forget Garret and his little brother Harret! Good times, good times...
DeleteI can't believe that one of my best years at the best school I attended is coming to an end. Now that I have gotten so used to having great classmates who are giving and friendly, it'll be hard to adjust to other kinds of people (not saying they are bad). Manchester was my school since 4th grade, but I still value this school as an important step in my life and more than many others. A huge chunk of what I know and what I will know has come from here, and it'll be sad to leave the place that built my foundation, got me friends, etc. For me it is going to be hard to leave school in one week! :-(
ReplyDeleteEven though this is my first year Manchester has given me many possibilities.
ReplyDeleteMs. U let me say thank-you. Thank-you for teaching us. For preparing us for middle school. For taking us on cool study trips. Thanks for letting us go out to most of our sports practice. For letting us have P.E. For being there when we need you or someone to support us.
ReplyDeleteIts been a great year and I can't believe it's almost over. One more week till I have finished my Manchester carer.
THANK-YOU for everything
Kate
