My daughter Loren is in Mrs. Garcia's PreK class and she is learning in leaps and bounds. I am surprised at how quickly she is learning and how much she loves to try new things. PreK gives children an advantage and I am grateful that it is now offered in the public school system.

my son has started at this school in the preK program and loves it thanks in part to Mrs. Bane and now Mrs Garcia. He comes home everyday with new ideas and thoughts. That is just wonderful. He is actually wanting to have homework. Thank you Mrs Garcia you are doing a wonderful job keep it up.

My daughter will be in the 3rd grade at Crescent and she has attended since kindergarten. The teachers and the principal are the kindest and most dedicated. They truly love their job and the children. I'm looking forward to my son starting kindergarten in 2005 at Crescent because I know he will be taught by some awesome teachers. Hats off to Crescent!
