She felt it would be better for students to remain inside the school premises.

Ms. Pastor added that the games and activities should be promoted in more ways.

We just concluded our three day articulation from the surrounding Elementary Schools. We bused in around 700 students in three days. They toured the school, they visited all the elective classes, also some core classes. We are going to follow up by visiting the schools with the hopes of recruiting students for next year. The students loved what they saw, they loved the school. We are going to start giving parent tours.
