Posted March 27, 2005

there should be more feild trips the 7th grade only went on 1 trip this year and i think that is very erong because the kids are always stuck in school. The children should be able to pick there classes like the specials they should be able to have a study hall room and what is wrong with the libary. the gym is so plan you sold let the kids paint the walls of the gym and put there finger prints and write there names and they would allways remember that they ddi that to the gym. they sholud also hueey up with puting up the curtain sthe state looks slopy. and the cafe food should be more tasty because the children don't like the food they should also ahve vending machines in the hall way and in the cafeteria. there should also be a bigger playground.
