I've developed close relationships with many of my teachers throughout the years. These relationships with my teachers have allowed me to feel safe at school, knowing that I have multiple teachers I can turn to once I find myself struggling. Our principal, Mr. Garth, encourages us to be nice to one another and works hard to make sure our safety, education, and overall happiness are his top priority. The staff is helpful and kind and makes my voice feel heard.
