Grade 6

What do you like about EPACS?
I think EPACS is a good school that really educates its students. I agree with its discipline towards the students if they misbehave. The teachers are fun and also know how to teach us while adding a little laugh.

What is your favorite subject(s) and why?
I enjoy math because it can help with many things, especially in a job. I also like social studies, because I love learning about past history and what happens today.

Where do you want to go to college and why?
I am not quite sure what college I want to go to, but I do know I want to go to a college which allows me to continue in math, social studies, and learn more about cooking. I also want to go to a college that is away, but not far.

If you could wish for one thing for our school, what would it be?
I would wish for more art class projects during class not for an elective or specials. I feel like there are less opportunities in school to relax and do something fun, that also includes learning. I want this because I love art and think it would be fun to learn about the textures of things and color mixtures.

Grade 1

What do you like about EPACS?
I like how mostly all persons get on the Superstar list. I like having writer's workshop we can write about whatever we want, but we have to have 3 copies: a rough draft, a pre-write, and a final copy. I like it because we can write about our weekend, and what we did over break.

What is your favorite subject(s) and why?
My favorite subject is math because we learn about math games and math centers and we could do math in our books. I like how we do doubles and addition.

I want to go to college in UCSB because there's a beach and there's a lot of classes you can go to, like art.

If you could wish for one thing for our school, what would it be?
I would wish that all the times we went to a grade we could wear any color jacket. I wish that there were scientist in the school so we could do science and show our parents how good we can do science.
