Spring Valley Elementary School

I go here for school. I am in forth grade. My teacher is Mr. D-​Z and he is nice. The only thing I do not like is the lunches. They are not always good but I will always support Spring Valley School. I also have many friends there.

I went here for Elementary School. I also went to the after-​school childcare program here afterschool. It’s kind of nice because it’s not in another location. it in the school but it only occupies a few rooms. I remember that there was a small school library and I don’t remember going there all that much. I remember that the school courtyard was like divided into like 4 sections. each grade level got like one section and wasn’t suppose to cross the boundary or something like that. I hated the lower courtyard with the wooden structure (I wonder if it’s still there). I would always get splinters there. I think the school had 2 floors. I don’t remember. it’s been so long since I’ve been back. There’s so many memories here. There were some mean kids in my class. I would always get picked on as a kid):. I remember there was this one time where we had a substitute and we tricked him into giving us a longer PE so we had PE for like a whole hour !! The principal came out all mad and everything. it was so hilarious !! I think the substitute never came back after that or did he. haha. I remember we would always say there was a witch that lived next door to the school or something. They used to have violin lessons here. I don’t know if they still do it. I remember I broke my bow a week before the performance for graduation purposely just so I didn’t have to play. I never paid attention in violin classes. I just took them because my parents told me it would benefit me in middle school. The funny thing is that I figured out how to play the violin the last couple days before the performance so I regretted breaking my bow. Because I broke my bow, I ended up pretending to play it on the stage and looking like an idiot. I don’t realize until now that I should’ve payed more attention in violin class. Who knows. maybe I’d be a famous Violinist now haha !! We also had ballet classes where the instructors picked two people to get free ballet lessons or something. I remember in Kindergarten, I was falling behind in class and getting frustrated because I didn’t get the alphabet. Sometimes I wonder how I got it in the end. it still remains a mystery LOL. I loved my 4^th grade teacher Mrs. Crane. she was a strict, but interesting and good teacher. Too bad she had to move and only got to teach our class. She took us to the cookie factory and introduced us to the group Rent. I remember in 5^th grade a guy in my class bought friends so we all got punished with detention and writing lines. I remember going camping in 5^th grade where I got homesick and called my mommy. It was also where I learned to take risks and got a tick stuck in my neck which a teacher later pulled out for me. 5^th grade was when I started caring more about my looks and turned more girly. I miss the many field trips and school assemblies where the principal would announce «The Star Of The Week ». We would all be wishing that we would get it and our parents would be watching proudly behind the school fence. Only thing I didn’t like about this school was the trees next to it on side of the school. I’m not sure what kind of trees they are but the things that fall from them are so annoying !! They’re so many of them and they used to stick to the bottoms of my shoe when it rained. They smell awful and look ugly too ! Sometimes I feel like this elementary school really got me ready for college. I think I unconsciously learned values and gained knowledge from this school which helps to shape the person I am today.
