All About My Awesome Middle School

 

The school that I go to is called McDowell Middle School, in Circleville, Ohio, USA.  It is part of the Logan Elm School District.  

    Daily Schedule: Every school day, Monday through Friday, I wake up at about 5:30 am to get on a school bus at 7:18 am. The bus transports me to school, and it has done this ever since I started going there. I get to school at about 7:45 am, and classes don’t start until 7:55 am, so the students have to wait outside until the bell rings. We have 7 periods during the day, and a different teacher for each.

     My first period class is Social Studies, where we learn about history, and the world around us. Then I have Math as my second period, and English Language Arts as my third. After that, my fourth period is split up into lunch, and Academic Enrichment, or A.E., but instead of A.E., I have band. Each is 30 minutes, whereas most other periods are about 55 minutes. My fifth period is Science, and my sixth is Guided Study, where I get to work on homework. My last period is Art, and school ends at 2:32 pm.   

  School Set-up: Our school district, Logan Elm, is broken up into three elementary schools, one Intermediate School, a Middle School, and a High School. Our elementary schools are Laurelville, (where I went, and pictured on the right) Washington, and Pickaway. All of the students from each elementary school meet up at Salt Creek, our Intermediate School, which includes 5th and 6th graders. Now, I am in 7th grade, at the Middle School, which also includes 8th graders.


We are getting a new building, (pictured left) which will hopefully be finished by the time I’m in high school. It will include all the grades altogether in one building.    

  Extra-Curricular Activities:  Our school’s sports and activities include American football, volleyball, track and field, basketball, golf, cheerleading, cross-country, and baseball. You can also choose to participate in band, or color guard. In band, you learn how to play an instrument, and can be in concert band, and/or marching band. In color guard, you get to do routines with flags that go along with what the band is playing. I am in the concert band, and I play saxophone. 

Pictured here is our middle school band at the Pumpkin Show, held in Circleville yearly. We got to march in the show. 

 

 

So that is all about my school. My favorite subjects, or classes, are Math, Science, English, Social Studies, Art and band, so, mostly all of them!

  1. Hi Zoe,
    My name is Mrs. Hernley and I want to say that I enjoyed your blogging post. I can relate to you and your school. I teach 7th grade in Hershey, PA and we have a very similar schedule to you. When I went to school, I also was involved in band and played the saxophone. I enjoyed looking at your pictures. Have a great school year!

    1. Hi Mrs. Hernley,
      I’m glad that you enjoyed my post about my school! That’s cool that you also played saxophone in band. What type of saxophone did you play (alto, tenor, baritone), and do you still play it today? Have a great rest of your school year too!
