What was your favorite writing project?
My passion project in 3rd grade with Teacher Shannon. You chose one of your passions to write about and I think I chose the outdoors. I think soccer might have been in there too. 

What do you think is the most important lesson you’ve learned at MPFS?
The community. Being together as a group and teamwork. I feel like it's something we really push here and I feel like I've learned to be more of the group and not by yourself all the time. Especially now, during COVID, when you don't get that opportunity all the time. So, I really like to take advantage of that.

What interests have been sparked during your time at MPFS?
I don't think I’ve tried anything new. I'd say things that I started went further here. Especially with my academics. That's the reason I came here to further my academics and I think that happened. I remember when I first started here in 5th grade, we used the Van Der Graaf generator which was really fun. It's a lot of hands-on science labs and experiments here, which has really interested me in science. 

What interests have been sparked during your time at MPFS?
I think a decent amount of my interests. I really enjoy writing and I just got into history this year because we learned about like World War I and World War II.

What do you think has made the biggest impression on you at MPFS?
The sense of community between everyone.

What do you think you’ll miss the most about MPFS?
I'm probably going to miss the teachers and my classmates. 

What do you hope is the same at your new school as MPFS?
Definitely the inclusion. MPFS did a good job at making sure that everyone felt included in any activity and I hope that my new school does the same.

What was your favorite writing project?
I was really proud of my research paper and I was talking to my mom and she said that my sister who went to public school didn't really get to practice that until she was like in high school...(We did) a research scaffold where you organize first. It is just useful...

What do you hope is the same at your new school as MPFS?
The ability to have an opinion. We have really big discussions in class, which is not a thing they do at most schools where it's just like being silent or go to detention. It's just like the freedom of everything we do.

What do you think is the most important lesson you’ve learned at MPFS? My most important lesson is probably that people want to talk to you more than you think they do, because you have something to offer. You just need to realize that. You have a voice. And people actually do want to hear it.
