The Level System is the best thing that happened at

Maple Crest Middle School because its

consequential to those who need it and rewardingto those who earn it. Yeah, it may be hard at first,

but thats only because you are already a level 3, 2,or 1 and you are just now starting to try your best.You might have to be a suck up once in a while,butits going to be easy, and its going to be fun,

because once you become a level 4, you are going tobe the happiest person alive!
