The Litmus Test = Sleepy Hollow Magic!

The final entry for the school year comes from a fifth grade student. It is a reflection on what Sleepy Hollow School Spirit means to her.

Sleepy Hollow Elementary School Spirit

School spirit is a way of showing your love for our school. It proves that you believe that your school is the best it can be. That is why I am writing this essay. I believe my school tries its best to be its best. The experiences I have had at this school are incredible. This school has given me the strength to grow as a person and a student. I feel I am ready for college and I am only in fifth grade. The work I have done over these years are going to help me my whole life and I feel I have been impacted in a very good way. This is a school that you feel happy to go to and sad to leave, and I know every student at Sleepy Hollow Elementary feels that way. The bond between me and this school has really increased over the two years I’ve been here. Every paper I have written and every grade I have got has given me more confidence. I feel safe and welcome at this school and it is a very good feeling. Every teacher and every staff member makes up the wonderful atmosphere of this school. The teachers bond with you and the staff members give you a welcome and at home feeling. There is a reason every student walks into those doors smiling. I call it Sleepy Hollow magic!
