Posted October 23, 2006

This is my children's second year at Nelson Charter School. I have a 8th grader and a Kindergartner. Both of my children love going to the school. Every day is a different extracurricular activities either art, library or P.E. and every grade is able to participate in these activities. The staff from the Principal to the custodians is very involved in helping the children with what ever the may need.
