He was a good guy. I was a of the rough kids at DP. Smoked weed out on the front field of back field. Got in to a few fights. But I guess he seen something in me that I didn't so any time that I got into shit. He would roll out the wrestling matts. He would call out one or two of his biggest wrestlers and it was on. After getting are ass kicked we would see things a little different. My brother and myself had gotten in to a brawl with a couple baseball plays between class the baseball coach jumped in the middle of the fight and he got his arm broken felt bad about that a little he was doing his job I guess. But it wasn't his fight anyways Mr. Hart found out about. He had me and my brother wrestle his players every day for about a month. After that I really never got into fights at school.

Theres something called CIMI that 6th graders go to every year if the district has money. Luckily i got to go. But over all the teachers are really good and yard duties are absolutely amazing.

The best thing about St. Mark is how warm and caring it is. The teachers and director create a home away from home where I know my kids are feeling love and support from their caregivers. And the teachers also constantly guide the kids to make kind choices toward one another. Next amazing thing--St. Mark is fun! The kids are outdoors more than half of the day and the play areas are big and varied. They are always getting dirty and imaginative and just get to be kids playing. My kids love being there and often don't want to leave, even after 9 hours! St. Mark is also structured. There is a routine to each day, from inside/outside time, songs, circle time, stations, free play, when to wash hands/use bathroom, etc. There's also weekly enrichment like special music classes and PE with Mr. B that the kids look forward to. The SMP community is forever! The school hosts lots of great events, big and small, and creates a space for the families to get to know each other and bond. From big events like winter sing and graduation to smaller ones like seminars, movie nights, and spring cleaning, there are tons of opportunities to make connections. I have such special friends from this school. I could go on and on. I'll also share that St. Mark is a tremendously supportive environment for children with food allergies. My family's experience working with the school to create a safe environment for a young child with severe allergies cannot have been better.

Aside from that i had came to this school from a 3 year hiadus from this city (prior to 99 grew up in goleta and retuned in fall of 02) and didn't know anyone and there were some really nice kids who actually came up to and asked me what my name was and such and i got invited to several parties (and this was the 7th grade !). Due to so many rude people and distractions that interupted my learning i had to transfer my 8th grade year and go to Santa Barbara junior high school in order to get a proper education and i am so glad i did really prepared me high school. But i was sad to leave bc i would have had 3 of 7th grade teachers whom where awesome and i had a good relationship with but where treated like complete crap by there students. Oh and i had stayed there i might have been able to stay in algebra one instead of going to sbjhs where they had no more room left in any algebra so i was stuck learning the same thing all over again pre algebra boring. A beautiful school though despite all of its extreme faults and being in the newspaper every other week in threats of being closed down(but had to keep it open due to over crowding). I haven't been their in god knows how many years but i hope they have made improvements.

They also help fund 5th and 6th grade outdoor education trips, teacher supplies and same-day field trips. Love this school and how they get involvement from teachers, students and families!
