Thursday, August 2, 2012

It has lockers unlike my school. You can change into different clothes for gym. It has many sports and activities for students to do. but my mom doesnt want me to go to grant because she says that grant is going downhill from teaching students what they are suppose to learn. And that the average grades from students are below ok. please make it better because i really want to go but my mom wont let me until the average goes up. Close Quote
