Good evening, fellow students and staff members of Stewart Middle Magnet! It’s an honor to speak to all of you here, at the 8th grade end-of-the-year banquet. Everyone has undoubtedly grown over the year, with each of you producing fruitful results. Middle school’s hard, I understand.

If there was anything else that could not be forgotten when we move on, it was our friends. I hope all of you had beautiful memories with both your teachers and your
