Zoe Jo Kasten: La Plata is a lot of fun! I have a lot of friends and really cool teachers. I have learned so much! I'm in 8th grade. One of the weird things about La Plata is that it is haunted. My friend and i were in the library and the empty computer started typing, but the keys wern't moving. It was really scary!!!
