Open Quote We have two children currently at Batey and have had a wonderful 4 years at this school. It is a neighborhood school so the majority of people walk or ride their bikes to bring their kids to school so you know your neighbors you know the kids and parents in your child's classes.

They expose our children to arts and culture. We have a culture of caring that is implemented and the children earn awards. We take numerous field trips every year, Theater plays, nature, physical, museums, and science to name some. My children have seen more plays before 4th grade then I did until College. Incredible!

We have a Multi-Cultural Fair, that is tomorrow,we celebrate ALL cultures. We have a parade of fashions of all the cultures represented and have foods donated from all of those different cultures as well. Anyone is welcome. We have music and dancing as well.

Our PTA does an incredible job of providing opportunities for people to get together Movie nights. Mother/Son and Father/Daughter dances, just to name a few.

We have a Talent Show tonight that parents are putting on since the money was cut from the teachers doing it among other things. But the kids love it so much there is no way to not have it.

We celebrate ALL holidays. Even our Kindergardners get to wear halloween costumes. You have never seen a happier school, kids, parents and staff alike. Close Quote
