Anthony Godfrey:
Hello, and welcome to the Supercast. I'm your host, Superintendent Anthony Godfrey. They are headed back to class with big expectations, confident this school year will be one to remember. On this episode of the Supercast, we talk to students about what they want and hope for as they settle into a new school year, making new friends and memories. We're excited to let the learning begin for the 2022-23 school year. Enjoying a few laughs along the way.

We are here in Sunset Ridge Middle School for the first day of the 2022-23 school year. You can feel the excitement in the air. We're here with the students. Tell me your name.

Taylor:
I'm Taylor.

Anthony Godfrey:
Taylor, what grade are you in?

Taylor:
I'm going into ninth grade.

Anthony Godfrey:
Going into ninth grade. You're starting high school. Feels good, right?

Taylor:
Yeah, for sure. I'm super hyped for it.

Anthony Godfrey:
What are you looking forward to most?

Taylor:
I don't know. Just a new school year. New teachers. I'm taking a ballroom, so that'll be fun. 

Anthony Godfrey:
Yeah.. Looking forward to ballroom. That's awesome. I'm sure they're glad to have you in there now. Tell me does the fact that it's high school now change your viewpoint a little bit?

Taylor:
Little bit. I feel like I'm kind of pressured to do more things. Kind of just do better in school because the last few years I've kind of been slacking off a little bit. Yeah. So I'm kind of looking forward to a new mindset and just getting ready for this new school year.

Anthony Godfrey:
Ninth grade does stay with you a little longer than eighth grade. Grade wise and transcript wise. But, I'm sure you're well prepared and ready to go.

Taylor:
Oh yeah, for sure. I'm taking on the challenge. I'm ready for it.

Anthony Godfrey:
Are you excited to see friends that you haven't seen much over the summer?
