Tagging at Downs

Today at Downs, we're going to show you how people tag at our school They would go to the bathroom or just some building on the walls or something. They would be mostly tagging every day between classes when ever. People would do it for fun, they don't know the consequences. Students will get suspended or expelled if they tag. Just don't tag property because you'll get the consequences.

Glenn L Downs Girls Soccer

The Glenn L Downs soccer girls were awesome and we rock, but we came in second place. The good thing is that we know how to lose. We are not sore losers like what happened with Harris. They got mad at us every time we beat them. They threatened people from Cartwright for beating them. Even though we got second place, we tried our hardest and we'll win next year.
