West Newton Elementary School
Our school is in need of so much. I hate that the budget cuts have effected this wonderful learning institution. We didn't make AYP this year and it saddens my heart. We need a playground because our current one is unsafe for the children. I am not upset with anyone in particular. I am just upset with how things never seem to really change. The parents aren't involved and it seems like we suffer because of our zip code.
