I am a Former student from Reynolds middle school. I just graduated (6.14.10). I think i have learned soo many things from reynolds, and i think that my grades was very good. My grade average was a B. If you like music or art. For Music there is Orchasta and for art you could be in art talent. There is a lot of after school sports especially when you get to 7th and 8th grade. In each Marking period there will be a awards assembly for getting no imfractions, having perfect attention and getting honor roll. The teachers at reynolds was soo great. My last year at reynolds was great. The Four 8th Grade teachers were very envolved in learning, they challenged us but while we were having fun and learning. Especially Mrs.Martin (jessica).All the staff at reynolds make parent very involved in PTO meetings a lot. -JoJo Joseph
