My 6th grade experience at Candlewood Middle School is amazing. I got the opportunity to participate in SCMEA, and my average is a 97. I'm learning so much and the school has so many opportunities and clubs. I joined the drama club which I am so excited for. There are lots of fun hangouts made by the student government for students to get know each other and create memories.

Hardship comes with the middle school experience but it gets to a point in which no developing child should experience this. The school itself is great, it provides a decent amount of clubs...
