My son goes here and it has given him a great education and has shown him sportsmanship and treating people as an equal not by race.
—Submitted by a parent


Posted October 26, 2012

My son attended kindergarten here, and I absolutely loved his teacher and the staff were amazing! She walked the students out of building to make sure they were picked up by an adult the child knows. I was late one day to pick up my child and she sat with him talking, instead of just leaving him in the office. But, the ladies in the office are absolutely the nicest people ever and The principle was awesome! I wish I didn't move so he could attend this school again. I just want them to know how much one teacher who truly cared, helped my son and My family with his diagnosis. Thank you so much!
