The students at my school are eager, curious, & always want more. They are quite diverse coming from all different backgrounds & family life. The one thing that tends to hold back their eagerness is their lack of resources. Many students want to experience or try new things however lack the resources and means to do so at home. Teachers at our school recognize this need & always go above & beyond to help & promote lifelong learning, a lot of the time by utilizing their personal time & money. Our teachers are always trying to find new ways to increase the positive school culture amongst students & staff & this year teachers have tried to do this by creating after school clubs & unique events that students can attend to help spark interest & creativity. The school itself tends to get a bad wrap, due to it being the oldest of 3 middle schools in the district and its location within the city. Because of this, we tend to receive very little support from families & parents.
