I have so many wonderful memories during my time at Montebello Intermediate School from 1986 until 1989. Mr. Thompson was my 5th and 7th-grade teacher. I''ve been told he passed many years ago. My teachers at this school were always very encouraging. I can only hope that the current generation of students will look back at their time at M.O.I. and appreciate what a wonderful place it is. Go Eagles! I''m Steven Gutierrez and you can find me @gute_studio
