Number 11, Cruise Memorial Elementary School

I recently had the opportunity to visit this wonderful school and I was moved by the amount of support among teachers and administration. Next time ask what you can do to help.

Currently, I am a literacy coach at WB Cruise School No. 11, and I feel that over the past few years the teachers at No. 11 have made great strides and improvement in the areas of Literacy. Teachers are creating well orgainzed, differentated and creative lessons to meet the needs of each and every student in their classes. I feel it is a privilege to be a part of the faculty at No. 11 school, and I look forward to beginning my 10th school year in September.

I feel that this school has a very bad reputation because of the area in which it's located. The quality of academic programs is improving, but not offered to all grade level, for instance 1st grade students. I haven't seen any music classes offered to the students this year or in past years. When I say music classes I mean instruments and involvement with the school band. There are no extracurricular activities offered to the student either. If the school offered more music, art, or sports for the kids I believe that their enthusiasm for school would improve greatly.
