“I remember that on my first day of 6th grade I had no one to talk to, but just as I sat down 2 high school students came and sat with me!  I thought it was so cool that the high school students would take out of their time to talk to 6/7th graders.” Samuel

“It’s like the school is one big family.  The teachers here are like parents but way cooler!” Lillie
