Both of my children went to Carolyn Lewis. CLE has a wonderful, caring staff and excellent teachers! They offer several opportunities for students to be involved in areas of interest, such as running club, choir, book club, chess club, science club and they even have a school garden! My family was blessed to be a part of this school. Close Quote
