There are many reasons why I like our School, I like the idea of Starting Points because sometimes plain old reading gets boring but Starting Points let you do fun 1 and interesting things sometimes. We have taken a survey. Each week we’ll put in- a paragraph that students from grades 4-6 have writ ten. “Why I like Stephen Central School.” The rotary classes are a good idea because they help you get ready for high school. Houseleague helps with the school becoming closer to more physical activities. Everybody needs a breather from the work for a little while so electives are a good idea. I believe that this year we have a great selection. I don’t think there is any other school I’d rather attend.
