Sunday, November 5, 2017

School is starting to look better. Many updates still need to be done. Even still the school needs to concern themselves on all extra curricular activities besides football. For example they have one of the best track and field records. Also, the band and chorus need recognized as well. Teachers need to stop being friends with the students and start teaching and reprimanding. You should see the chorus director. Can not control the chorus group. They have the abilities to sing but look horrid and some want to out shine the rest. Close Quote
