The teachers at this school could be a liitle more caring about the students! The boys PE teacher has a horrible mouth and uses nasty language! I have to show appreciation for 2 teachers( Ms. Bester and Ms. Rudolph and for Ms. Wisenhut(works in the office) They really helped my child get through a very tough year! I think if the teachers would show the students that they cared a little more, then the students would be more willing to do what they need to do and not cause so much trouble!
