(5 / 5) Flag as inappropriate - South Middle school is the best school I know. I just moved down here from Dallas Tx. and I am just impressed on how the principal runs the school! My best friends daughter plays EVERY sport there except for golf. She wants to plaay tennis but cant seem to find time. I understand. She's a very busy girl.She's gona be an 8TH grader. Anyways I am just in love with your school iam wanting my son to go there but he's not old enough yet. I thimk one of these days I will stop by and see are you run and take care things in school. I wanna make sure everything is ok because I want my son to be in a safe envornment but at the same time be happy were he is probably gona be. Your school has the best teachers i've heard of. Especially that 7TH grade reading teacher Mrs.Esparza. Well I shall be leaving or shall I say stop writting. If you have any questions or need any sponsering call me from this number 956-207-0908 I run my own business. A high quallified bussines.
