What’s the best way to relate to a crowd of middle schoolers? For those at Vernal Middle School, the answer is to join them in celebrating the latest slang phenomenon. The school celebrated 67 days of learning so far this school year. “We’ve officially made it through 67 days of learning, growing, and accomplishing amazing things together!” shares the announcement. “From new friendships to new skills, our students continue to show grit, kindness, and Mustang pride every single day. Let’s keep the momentum going as we head toward even greater successes this year. Way to go, Mustangs — 67 days down, many more to shine!” For those asking why the school would choose 67 as a benchmark to celebrate, “six-seven” is a popular slang term being used by Gen Alpha. If you are doubting its cultural impact, “six-seven” has been named the Dictionary.com 2025 Word of the Year. And if you are wondering what it means, don’t expect a clear answer. Some say it means “maybe this, maybe that” while others say it is impossible to define.
