8TH GRADE PROMOTION UPDATE 5/28/2021
THEME: “Rise Up and Fly Away”
Our theme song for this year is “Fly Away” by Tones and I. In the song, she says,
No one knew how low I was feeling
I was scared to reach it all
Knowing I was here for a reason
But I was scared that if I tried, I’d fall
So where do I go now I’m in it?
I never thought it’d be like this
Dreaming all my life and I did it
Thought the grass was greener than then it is
