I think that this is one of the best middle schools in the whole United States of America. But, I think that we should have a French elective. :)

I like the school a lot. It gives a great educational experience. I think though you should get a gymnastics elective like Clairy Gale has. Just a thought. Take up the idea sometime. Thank you. :]
