When I went to Richard Gordon, I thought I was going to be pretty scary. But, not really! It was very fun learning, and surprisingly- not boring as I thought it would be. Fourth Grade was the best, even though for me, and everyone, it was a shorter year because of the cancellation from Covid. We were going to do a play about the California Gold Rush, but Covid hit & we did not get to do the play. Besides that, all the years at Gordon were great! (except 5th grade, while I was in online learning. THAT was pretty darn rough. ) But besides that, I loved Gordon. :)
