Wednesday, August 22, 2018

I graduated here 2018 of this year, Its been the coolest school I've ever went to. There is the ups and downs though, In the first floor there's no air conditioning so i almost melted hahaha. The greatest part of the school was my cool gym teacher Mr.Ditillo. Hes the only one ever since i was in 6th grade, been the nicest person there. I definitely recommend this middle school.
