I’m a former fifth grade student who just graduated from fifth grade two month ago on June, 19th, 2015. One of my favorite memories when I went to that school for six years is, when I was a lunch monitor for my former, fourth grade teacher, Mr. Kahn during my lunch period, after I ate my lunch, even though, I started that job a few months toward the end of the school/ even, though I started that job late.
Another one of my favorite members is, when I was on the basketball team, I loved that memory as well because, I got to play/ win for my school, even, though we didn’t make it to the playoffs, I also made new/ old friends who I’ll never forget.
A third memory of mine is, when I was on safety patrol, because, I got to help the lower grade students be safe, and, make sure they follow the rules, because, I love making sure people/ everyone’s safe, and, they follow the rules.
My most favorite is when Mr. Kahn became my fourth grade teacher, when Ms. Hoder was my principal, and, when Ms. Sackaris became my fifth grade teacher. In addition of this, I also loved the day when my former principal, Ms. Hoder gave me that student leadership award on the day of the 2015 5th grade graduation, I also wanted to say this is the greatest/ best elementary school I’ve ever went to in my life, and, I’ll miss all of those staff members, and, classmates I’ve worked with, and, knew for six (6) years, and, I’ll never forget them, and, they’ll always be in my heart forever.

My kids are always complying because the boys bathroom is not clear. Teachers don’t let them go to the bathrooms more then 3 ti.es a day. Teachers are very rude to the kids. Kids are not aloud to talk to each other at lunch time. I don’t know what is happening to these school. Because at our time us was actually fun at lunch time. I loved my school. But when I hear my kids complying about there school. I’m not liking this at all.

This is the best school EVER!!!!!! I should know because I went to this school. I was in the class of 13. They do the most fun activties for the students like a bbq where kids could have fun and play. At lunch kids 4th to 5th grd could help teachers after they ate lunch. There is a senior trip to club getaway. In class teachers get really involved with the students.
