r.HY I LIKE HIGHLi\?H)S SCHOOL
I am a student in the Seventh Grade.
This is my first year to come to the
Highlands school. I went to Scaly to
school for six years, but I like school
at Highlands better, fcr I have more
advantages,
iTe have a largei* library than we had
at Scaly. T'o also have Source bcoks here.
Another advantage is that we get to
see pictures at the theatre which is con
nected with tho school. We also get to
use tho school radio to hear educational
programs.
At Scaly v;e did not have a lunch
room and it is very beneficial for tho
children to have hot lunches.
Here at Highlands we can get our les
sons better because there is a teacher
for each grade,
