I loved that the school was small so I was able to have a connection with pretty much everyone and it gave the school as a body a closeness especially when it came to events hosted. I wish participation was a more common thing for students and parents while I was there and even today. There's a group usually within each grade that does just about everything and it makes it hard to balance things for that group when it comes to events and fundraisers the classes are supposed to host. I speak for myself and the small group I was with including parents that were the ones doing the tasks because nobody else wanted to take part. Its not the schools fault either because they encourage us to do so but I guess a great amount of students just don't take part. It sucks because if the school had more participating it would be less stress for those doing it all the work and just the more opportunities for the classes to achieve when it comes to hosting evets or fundraisers.
