- I think mld is a good school and can't wait for next year. The teachers were nice and the staff was cool too. well i really liked it last year but when i first came i hated to have to wear uniforms which i am kind of still against. i hope whoever reads this will take this message into consideration and approve what i say.
thank you for being there for me MLD!
