—Submitted by a student


Posted February 9, 2005

This school is the best school for students to be enrolled in. When I went to school there, It was the best experience of my life. I went to school there for seven years. Wind River Middle School gave me more one - on - one help than Laramie Jr. High does for me now. At Wind River Everyone knew me and I knew everyone, so it was easy to make more friends. The Extracurricular activities were good, also. When I went to school there they had the program called Lights On. And It really kept me out of more trouble. I would be so greatful if I could go back even just to visit the schools to see my old teachers and principles. I also just want to congradgulate Mrs. Clapp for making superintendent. Thank You!
