A Poetic Guide to Middle School

Sydney Comerico

From 6th to 7th then to 8th,

The Pelham Middle School is super great.

Although the work might stack and you might want to go back,

Wait a little bit and you’ll have a blast!

With this said, manage your work and time effectively,

And your teachers will be impressed immensely. 

Here it is a safe community,

We welcome you with open arms.

So don’t you fret and don’t you fear,

All the teachers and staff are so kind at heart.

Believe in yourself because you are smart,

A true Pelham Pelican you are!

Let’s start with 6th grade,

The Pelham Middle School is a whole new place.

It might take some adjusting to,

But don’t worry you will make it through

Here are a few tips from my experience;

Don’t procrastinate,

Get your work done early and you’ll feel great.

Take advantage of Academy,

It is valuable and available after school every day.

You may experience feelings of wanting to quit,

But don’t stress because, trust me, you’ll get used to it.

Next is 7th,

To impress your teachers you will have to go above and beyond.

You will also want to join clubs to bond.

Community service is important,

Volunteering your services will always be worth it.

Modified sports are so much fun,

There are a plethora to choose from.

There’s cheerleading, volleyball, and field hockey too,

Soccer, football, and track.

Surely there is a modified sport waiting for you.

Field trips are both educational and interesting, 

Especially since there is no more social distancing!

While I didn’t get a chance but you will,

From what I’ve heard, school dances are a thrill.

7th grade was my best year,

And is one that I will hold very near and dear.

The moral of this poem is to prove that you are not alone,

The Pelham Middle School is just another journey we all follow along.

This is yet another milestone we will achieve,

Remember you can do just about anything if you believe.

Time flies quickly so enjoy it while it lasts,

Soon the Pelham Middle School will be a part of your past.

Work hard, laugh much, and find your tribe,

For once you find yourself, there is nothing better to describe!
