Love the small town feel of this wonderful school. The children learn to interact with students in all grades, creating a more family-like atmosphere. Students have dance instruction from a professional choreographer, Spanish instruction from a native speaker, music instruction (including band instruments at 3rd grade instead of 5th on larger campuses) and still have access to all the technology & equipment that is found at other schools. The donations from a generous community help support these extra activities not offered anywhere else! Close Quote
