Zippel Middle School 6th graders

Moving

By Brenan Page
Grade 6
Presque Isle Middle School
Moving to a brand new state and school
Looking out at the faces of your friends for the very last time
Excitement of going on a long journey to a whole new place
Eager to meet kind teachers and new friends
Smiling at how you’ll impress them all
Thrilled by the entirely different scenes
Gazing at the brand new house
Thinking about your old friends
Loving how you’ll make new ones
