This will be the final Forecast message of the year. I would like to take time to extend a message of appreciation to our entire school community. This has been a year of significant student achievement and from my perspective, it has been an incredibly positive and productive year. I also know that the success of this year is the result of all stakeholders. We have great students, families, and staff. All of these groups have played an integral role in the success of this year. Thank you!
End of the Year Celebrations
We spent much of this past Wednesday saying goodbyes, signing yearbooks, experiencing “last day” activities, and celebrating student accomplishments. I would like to take a moment to acknowledge a few of the significant Thompson Middle School 8th grade student achievements.
The American Legion award is based on courage, honor, leadership, patriotism, scholarship, and service. This is the highest honor awarded American Youth by The American Legion. This year’s Thompson Middle School award winners are Ava Andreacchi and Carter Cave. Congratulations!

The Citizenship Award winners are those students who exemplify the characteristics of an outstanding student. These are the students who on a regular basis strive to improve themselves and the school. They are the ones who exhibit all of the learner characteristics: respectful, responsible, organized, and accountable.
The Citizenship Award is presented to students who have a positive relationship with everyone they meet. These students touch the lives of many people in a positive way. They may take a leadership role in a group or they may be the supportive worker. No matter the circumstance, these students are helping to make Thompson Middle School a great middle school. Congratulations!

A Farewell to 8th Graders
To the students and families of the Thompson 8th grade class of 2022: You have represented well. As we finish this school year, I challenge 8th graders to be the best you can and represent Thompson in a great light during your high school years and beyond. Both of our High School have already heard that we have a solid group of students coming their way.
At the next level, I encourage you to get your children involved from the get-go. Find something they like and insist on helping them to make a connection with a group outside of the academic day. In doing so, students find a connection with an adult advisor and other kids with common interests. This has proven to enhance the high school experience.
Enjoy the high school years. They will undoubtedly fly by.
To all, enjoy a productive and safe summer~
Steve
