I love this school so much. Mr.Bortot is a very helpful and courageous principal he is like a teacher. He gives you warnings and helps you before you do somwthing bad. Whenever i need help with anything they will help me and if we have bad grades they give us a couple of days before and remind us that we need to turn in work. Mrs. Arnette just came this year and she is very helpful. I love this school so much i have been her sonce 6th grade but its sad because its my last yeasr here.
