I used to go to this school in third grade and always loved it I used to be taught by Ms. Williams and I am now in 6th grade. I miss the old funny music teacher always loved when he made me laugh when I was a kid; I loved having field day, and it was so fun to make friends 3 years ago in that school and I hope the school is doing good and I miss my old teachers..
