I am a sophomore in Weequahic High School I really like the school culture. The School needs to work on better school lunches and the teachers should give students equal love no one should ever feel left out . We need more trips for all grades and better college readiness.

I dont even remember her teaching social...

What a wonderful performance in the Halloween Parade last night in Toms River!! I am originally from Newark and was so pleased to see some of the good work being done by Newark students. The good news needs to get published too! So, my rating for this band's performance is a 4 STAR!
