Akelia Knight said her 7-year-old daughter Makayla is entering the second grade.  This will be Makayla’s second year at Havana Magnet.  
“She has been doing so much better here,” Knight said.  
As students visited their new classrooms and met their teachers, the school gave away uniforms and school supplies, and also raffled off backpacks.
