What will you miss most about SAA? 
My classes
 
What was your favorite COVID-19 activity?
Watching TV
 
Tell us three things you couldn't live without during your eighth-grade year:
The support and help from my teachers and family members, friends from other schools, and playing basketball, baking, cooking, and watching TV.
 
If you could take one thing from SAA with you to high school, what would it be?
SAA has truly shaped me into the girl I am today. I have become so much stronger since the 5th grade, and I am really proud of it. I will take away the Jewish values that have been embedded in me since Mommy and Me. I will also take away the lessons that I have learned and the wisdom that I have gained. A quote that will stick by me throughout the coming years in my life that I have discovered in SAA is that whoever is trying to bring you down is already below you. 

What was your favorite SAA class and why?
Social Justice Bakery elective because I got a chance to bake, which is something that I love to do.  
 
Share your favorite SAA memory.
My Bat-Mitzvah weekend including the Saturday and Thursday service.
 
Honor your faculty! Who do you want to give a shout-out to?
Mrs. Lipman, for all of her help and dedication towards her students.
 
What SAA traditions will you miss most after you graduate?
I will miss the weekly tefilot at SAA on Fridays towards the end of the day. Sitting by each other as a middle school, swaying side to side, singing hashkivenu as a community, with our hands wrapped around one another will always be something that I will miss when I graduate.
