The end of the school year is officially near, and for many of our families, that means one thing: THE BIG LEAP. 🏃♂️💨
Whether it’s moving from elementary to middle school or middle to high school, transitions can be a mix of "scary-exciting" and "happy-nervous." This week on From Forest to Shore, we’re sitting down with Worcester Middle School Counselor Marina Ciccarini and student expert William Ceriello to talk about what it’s really like to switch schools in Stratford.
We’re answering the burning questions:
🔐 Will I ever figure out my locker?
📍 Is it actually possible to get lost?
📚 Are the teachers as strict as people say?
William gives us the inside scoop on surviving 7th grade (and spoiler: it’s not as bad as you might think!).
Mark your calendars for Thursday morning at 8:00 AM! 🗓️
