Posted April 10, 2007

This school is full of love and happiness. The teachers really care, and the students get the one-on-one time that they need to become a better student. The music programs are excellent, all the kids are encouraged to take band in 7th and 8th grades, but it is required in 6th grade. The parents are always welcome to chat with the principal and staff. Overall it is a great school, and the whole school system is unbelievable. It is just a great place to be.
