Smitha Middle School is a great school to go to. The teachers are fun, the administrators are nice, and the lunch is okay.

I think that Smitha is a great school. But more field trips would be nice (I never went on one at this school except in Orchestra), and please go on with the talent show no matter what. It was done the year before I entered Smitha, but when I entered no one mentioned it.
