Friday, November 30, 2012

This schol is the example of how to not judge a book its cover.The stadards for this school is much higher than I would have expected.They are very strict and that is a good thing. My child's teacher is organized, on top of everything, and very sweet. The only negative thing I can say, the teachers at the drop off for car riders just chat with each other and NEVER open your child's car door to help them out. Close Quote
