Alyson Boren is an amazing student who loves to play softball, rugby, go to the gym, and hang out with friends during her free time. She is the one that stays calm (most of the time, at least) during tough circumstances both at home and at school. Alyson is a funny, caring, and friendly student who everyone would want to be friends with. Now let’s take an inside look at what it’s like to be Alyson Boren.

To start off, Alyson uses sports to help herself both blow off some steam and train and work hard to get to college with a softball scholarship to UCLA- the college she’d wanted to go to since she was only four years old. While in college, Alyson will take as many college courses as it takes and train very hard to follow a path into becoming a Navy Seal.

Known as “Aly” in her softball league, one of the best players there, she has definitely become famous on the fields. She started playing travel ball in 2018, making new friends and training harder than ever. She mostly plays catcher and is an amazing batter. She would love for softball to take her to UCLA in the future. More…

Summer Boren is an outstanding student, friend, and classmate. She is not only very kind hearted and a friendly person, but she is an exemplary student and role model for her fellow 7th graders.

Summer is not a girl that likes to waste her time, she does an extraordinary amount of activities and hobbies. Her favorite and main sport is soccer, but she loves to do Taekwondo after school, voice lessons, girl scouts, and the drums.

She not only does all of this for after school, but she also wants to join the Stacey soccer team, and she is already enrolled in badminton club, cornhole club, and book club. That takes us into her hobbies, she really loves to read, play outside, sing, dance, and take funny quizzes online. This definitely shows that Summer is not a lazy and non-interesting person, she does not like to have a minute wasted.

Summer is not going to pass up on having the best 7th-grade year, she has many goals that she is hoping to succeed in, and some that she has already accomplished. Summer’s goals for this year are having straight A’s, a 4.0, and to make 40 friends. She has already made 30 friends and this because of how truly kind she is to her peers. More…

Mr. Ginex Orinion, otherwise known as Mr. Go, the new eighth-grade science teacher at Stacey middle school, is already improving our school. What path did he walk that resulted in him teaching here? Interestingly,  Mr. Go has never had an official classroom before making his way to SMS. He has been a digital learning coach, meaning he studied and learned about the technology teachers use for students. He then taught the teachers about the technology, like Chromebooks! He then moved onto teaching here as a science teacher, instructing chemistry and physical science to his pupils. Being at Stacey for only about two months, he already loves it.

Savannah McVey and Dylan Webber

Mrs. Kirk, the current assistant principal at Stacey Middle School, has already had a very successful career.

She attended Florida A&M University majoring in mathematics and mechanical engineering. Mrs. Kirk attended Florida A&M due to the long-lived tradition in her family for all women to attend and graduate from A&M. She always had a love for engineering without even knowing it.

Eager to fix everything broken in the house and having a love for taking things apart, it was always a part of her. Kirk explained that it was a very tough major, requiring hard work and dedication, but it was worth every second. The classes were very fun because she always had a love for hands-on activities.

After graduating college she went on to design cars and blueprints at general motors. This was great because Mrs. Kirk absolutely loves cars, more specifically German engineering. Ferrari and Lamborghini, are two of her favorites. More…
