Not exactly a student anymore however I used to be for grades 2-5. This school was BOMB, in the good way of course, I was in gifted but the teachers all seemed to be pretty cool regardless. The art teachers, music, and PE well those were all I had I think but they were still very good at what they taught. For example, in PE we got to do a variety of stuff, and in art we usually would do different kinds of projects and occasional watch movies about optical illusions in Brain Games (awesome show btw), and in music well that was ok. My homeroom teachers were all pretty nice. Point is that this was the most memorable school experience I've been to and even though I'm in like, 9th grade, I still remember it.
