Posted September 20, 2009

The school has wonderfull teachers and students that are willing to give it their all when it comes to learning. The school could really use the money for updating items within the school.

I was a parent volunteer at this school for several years. I volunteered in the office, classroom and as a PTA officer before getting disgusted and moving my child. Staff here does not get along and communication is lousy.
