My name is (...) im fifteen. I am the daughter of (...), the daughter of my grandfather, (...) the former mayor of Pamona. And this school was named after him. And its sad to hear and see that a school that is dedicated to my grandfather
is not doing so well. my grandfather is not like this at all, he is a good man and wouldn't have wanted it to be this way. It is just very sad to me that this school is the way that it is and my grandfather cant do anything about it. If he were were still here with us he would make the changes that needed to be changed.

i think this school needs to make school meetings in the afternoons and more activits that have to do with sports so kids can be active and motive.

i think it is really good that has to do with the learning but the kids don't have to much freedom and have to where uniforms every day.
