The school
is presently known as

are getting wealthier
with every breath
but

  1. You have the uncanny ability of praising someone
    to the Heavens on a page at the same time
    there is an underlying taste of bitterness.

    1. Guilty as charged and here is a specific reason why:
      at a faculty meeting to begin a school year,
      Principal VIRGINIA PRECIADO shared "good news."

      The school's math scores were so low,
      we were guaranteed extra state/federal funds
      to improve them
