I love Blandford SO much, especially the teachers in it. But I also love the fact that we have chickens at our school that we get to name, take care of, and sell the eggs of to earn money for our school! Like what other school has chickens! I am also very sad because this year (2019) Ms. Mc (Mrs. McKay), is leaving. Ms. Mc also has 2 chinchillas in her classroom and a gecko. I love animals so this is definitely not a problem for me and I love having them around to hold during the school day and take care of. This is the ultimately BEST school I have ever been to!
