This is the BEST school I have ever been. As a student there is NO school that can beat it. 3rd grade is obviously the best grade here. The teachers were so nice and kind, the events were so cool and fun, that I loved school and when I was there I was like I don''t understand why kids hate school. This is SO fun I love school. Kindergarten was really fun too. Thanks to this school, I grew up smart. But sadly, at the end of school in 3rd grade I had to move to New York instead of Rhode Island and I was really sad because I didnt want to leave my old school and and my teachers and my best friends, but I went. Anyways il give examples of the events there. Free ice cream, An event where we learn about reptiles and we actually got to touch a snake named Miles long. jump on bounce houses for FREE. watch the Mario Movie for free (even tho some schools you need to pay to watch a movie for free) Making our own books. Making google slide presentations in art and library class. It also has a playground. (even tho my new school is NY only has a small playground only for the younger kids) And many more cool events and things. So thats why this is the best school on earth.
