Ms. Ferguson
JJ! There has never been a dull moment with you these past four years. You really are one of the kindest student’s I have had the pleasure of teaching, even if you don’t want to admit it. You were such a joy to teach and us teachers could always count on you in making our days just a little bit brighter with your silliness. Good luck in High School, and never stop trying!
Ms. Zaca

Joelle Abris
Dear Joelle,
We are so proud of the beautiful, strong, and well-rounded young lady you’ve become. Throughout the years, we have watched you blossom and break out of your shell into the confident, bright, responsible, and hard-working person you are. You have been able to balance academics, sports, music, community, and family, giving 100% of yourself in all you do. You have a quiet grace and strength about you, never wanting attention, but yet, we all take notice. Your beauty shines inside and out. We can’t wait to see what the future has in store for you! Congratulations on your promotion!
We love you so much,
Dad, Mom, Jaden, and Julian
Joelle is a silent assassin, in the best possible way. She is very quiet, but behind that silent exterior is a tremendous amount of depth. She may not always volunteer an answer, but you can bet she has it. Joelle, you continue to impress me. I wish you all the best in high school!
Mrs. Cerezo
To use Mrs. Cerezo’s words, Joelle really is a silent assassin! She is one of my hardest working students and goes above and beyond in anything she is tasked. Not only that, she is the sweetest to her friends and the loyal friend we all wish we have. I have been lucky to teach her these past four years and watch her grow into the social butterfly she is now! Good luck in high school!
Ms. Zaca
Tyson Roberts

Love Mom, Dad, Maxx, Devon & Maxxwell
I want to thank Tyson for the leadership, kindness, and athleticism he brought to PE day in and day out. He is truly a fine young man and I was blessed to have him as a student. I wish Tyson all the best in his future endeavors as he moves on to high school. Good luck buddy, Coach will be watching your stats!
Coach Levand
Tyson Roberts has a smile that would charm a snake charmer. He has a quick wit and an amazing sense of humor. Whatever Tyson wants to do he will do well and succeed. I am expecting to hear great things from him in the future.
Congratulations on your 2020 Promotion. It will be memorable!
Mrs. King
Brook Armer
Brook has really come into her own as an 8th grader- she has grown both academically and socially and I have been so impressed by her in the classroom. It has been a joy to watch Brook evolve over the last two years. You will go on to do amazing things Brook! Good luck in high school!
Mrs. Cerezo
Brook has been one of the best students a teacher could ever ask for. She shows interest and enthusiasm for everything we do in class, and no matter what assignment or project comes her way, she gives 100% of her best effort. I will miss her happy smile in my class! Congratulations, Brook!

Nico has grown as an individual this year, from being quiet to an intelligent and outspoken young man. I am proud that I was able to have him in my class and see him grow. He is so intelligent there is not much to say, but if you apply yourself there is not much you won’t be able to do.
Ms. Greene

I have had her now for almost 2 school years and I know her to be a very quiet well-behaved child in the class. She knows her Spanish for sure! She always does amazing work and puts in a lot of effort. She also consistently participates in class which is wonderful! Great student! I wish you well in HS and beyond!
Mrs. Polo
Katherine,

His competitiveness with a touch of class of positive sportsmanship and reassurance to his classmates is like no other! He is always the first one to shake everyone’s hand after a game and always has a positive attitude win or loss! Josh also has a great sense of humor, and the smile to go with it! 🙂 Josh will truly be missed by all! Best of Luck in High School Mr. Williams as I’m sure you’ll accomplish everything you wish to in life and more!!!!
Coach Williams 🙂
Since the day he walked into my classroom as a 7th grader, Josh has been the voice of reason and sarcasm that we have all come to know and love. Honors Science will not be the same without you! Congratulations, Josh!

Oseguera Family
I was so excited to see Alex come out of his shell this year as an 8th grader. His humor and staring contests were the highlight of class, and his confidence during projects and presentations made them some of the most entertaining our class has ever seen. It won’t be the same without him next year. Congratulations, Alex!
Ms. Dominguez
Alex! I have watched you grow with so much confidence these last four years! Mom would always talk about how you were always the funny one at home, making your siblings and parents constantly laugh, and I am happy I was finally able to see that side of you this year. Good luck in High School!
Ms. Zaca
Gwen Abad
Gwen, Congratulations on your 8th grade promotion! I am extremely proud of the young lady that you have become. You’ve shown such determination, maturity, and adaptability through the last few years. You continue to exceed all expectations, including the ones you place on yourself. Keeping your grades up while having such a busy life is challenging and you seem to handle it with such ease. I know you will continue to succeed just as well, if not more, in high school and beyond. I love you so very much!
Love, Mom…and Jake 🙂
Gwen is a quiet, but determined student. She is kind, compassionate, and very academically driven. I feel very lucky to have taught her these last two years. She has worked very hard to be a stellar student and it is absolutely paying off! Excellent work Gwen!
Mrs. Cerezo
Gwen, Gwen, Gwen. I am SO going to miss you next year!! You are truly the sweetest, most kind person I have met and I am excited to see what paths in life you take in the future. I am going to miss your random, silent giggles in class! Gwen, you put your heart in EVERYTHING. From studying for social studies, to Pentathlon, to getting your grade up in Humanities! This spirit in you is admired and appreciated by all your teachers. I am sad we cannot end the school year normally after four years of being taught social studies from me, but I am happy knowing that you will do amazing in high school and beyond! Continue on silently giggling in life!
Ms. Zaca

-Mom, Stewart, Michael, Peter and ZoeLyn
We are so proud of you. You are amazing and will go far in life. Never stop believing.
-Dad, Beth, and family
Matthew, we have been delighted to have you in our math class. You have grown and shown how committed and responsible a student you are. We have also noticed the kindness and respect you treat your classmates with, and that is a sign of maturity that you will be carrying to your next set of challenges, the first of which is High School.
Fly high and soar like a Falcon.
Ms. Bengson
My first year at Discovery has been filled with a lot of laughs, a good portion of them from Matthew. He always has positive energy and a ton of spirit! Yet, through the fun he always will ask a question to try to understand a subject more or make an attempt to give an answer. Congrats on promoting and we wish you the best in high school!
