   Hi!  We live in a suburb close to close the windy city called to the windy city (Chicago).  Here in Chicago the winters are very cold and the summers are very hot.Our school name is Tefft.  Our mascot is the Tefft Trojan.  Our schools colors are purple and white.

Tefft got it's name from the Tefft family.  They once  had a farm where Tefft stands now.  In our school we have about 640 students for seventh and eighth grade.  We start at 9:00 A.M. and get out at 3:13 P.M..  We have eight periods that are forty-three minutes long and we have four minutes to get to our next class.   We have a two story high brick building.

 Students in our school come from many different cultures. In our class alone, we have people who's cultures include: German, Dutch, Mexican, Polish, Italian, French, and English.

A couple of weeks ago on a Friday we had a dance.  At the dance we hung out, danced, and talked until 9:00 P.M..  The dance was called HOW BIZARRE. People dressed crazy.  We even had a raffle.

 In our school we enjoy many different foods. Some of the foods we enjoy are pizza, Mac-n-cheese, cheese cake, and many other foods.  Pizza is made out of dough, cheese, sauce, and other various toppings.  Mac-N-Cheese is made out of noodles and cheese.  Behold cheese

 Here at Tefft we are very interested in technology devices.  The part we enjoy the most about technology is the computer. About ¾ of the people at our school have computers.  One of our classes is industrial technology. This class allows us to enter the world of industry and use their technology.
