"I like English because we learn in fun ways. We play a lot of fun games, but we learn while we do!"

"I like math! The math games like Mathsketball and Math Jeopardy were amazing. I was also in film club and I loved taking pictures of other clubs and getting to know each other."

"I enjoyed Rhythm, Science, Sound because you got to learn about technology and the roots of music. They gave you perspective on what to do and what not to do."
