This school is avery challenging school. That's why it's so good. I used to be a student here myself and it was marvelous. The teachers took us out to learn about the enviroment. Ms. haven was avery nice teacher, cared about everyone and was just marvelous.

The academic programs are great, and the extracurricular activieties are wonderful.(I must say that Mr. Berg is a great PE teacher.)
My school rewards its children, and teachers amazingly. It really recognizes when a child does something to help the school or class mates. The library is great,but I think that the computer lab is too small, and that there is not enough computers. If the computer lab was bigger it would not be so hot and crowded in the lab. The bathrooms are disgusting!!!!! They stink, and are not takin care of properly. There lights are also creepy, and not bright enough. I think that the cafeteria should be DOWN sized a bit. Us kids sit in side the classroom for 4 hours. If you down sized it a bit, and added more picnic tables the kids would want to sit out side, and get fresh air. The picnic tables that are already standing are disgusting!!!!! There is dried food, bird poop, and other unrecanizable food products on the tables. It makes it unenjoyable to eat our lunches.
The hotlunch, is the worst food I have eaten. Corn syrup, dies, and tamatoe powder, are only a few of the usual ingredients in the packedge, then cooked, then frozen, then cooked again, food we injest. You are poisening us!!!! Do you know how much chemicals, and dies, and other horrible things you are puttinning our unexpecting bodies? How about we go fresh? It also would be great if you organic too, but fresh is good.
We are also poluting very much, with all of the fossil fules we are putting into the atmosphere. What about going solar?
Parent involvement is wonderful. Thank you to all of the parents who have helped make our school great.
Now to the teachers. I have not met all of the teachers, but of the many I have met, I think are great, and make sure we learn lots.
I have a suggestion to make. Kathleen Reynolds in room 21, is not the greatest teacher. She makes many children feel like they are stupid and wont make it in the real world. Many of us wont, but she does not help. So please, take what we said into consideration, or you might just have more then one person this year move out of her class.
All in all, I love my school. Thanks to the very supportive teachers Hidden Valley makes me want to go to school each and every day.
We love Hidden Valley!!!!!!Sincerely Madison Barron, and Hannah Rogers
