I Love Going To MS Palmer. I Been In Evolved In So Many After School Activities, That Includes: Volleyball , Which I Enjoy Playing, Cheerleading, Track, Which I Love Doing, Softball/Fast Pitch Softball, Which I Like Playing Also. My Team & I Went To State In Track This (2016), Which Was A Great Experience. I had Never Been Before & It Wasn't what I Expected It To Be, But I Had Fun. What Makes My School Unique, Is That It's NOT all About Work, Work, Work. They Also Try To Make It To Where We Can Have Some Fun Too. I'll Choose This School Again Because Ain't No School Like My School. They Make Sure You Got what You need To Pass. They Don't Want to See Us Fail.

Sometimes Students Like To Stay To Themselves Because They Sometimes Feels That Other People May Not Like Or Accept Them Because Of how They probably Act, Or Might Look. Sometimes People Would Do Anything To have Friends Because They Want To Be Accepted.
