Wednesday, September 7, 2016

Rebecka is in her second year at Clinton Prairie Elementary and we are very happy with her excitement of school. She was in a very small Catholic School in California and in it's day (my son's also went there) it was the best education you could get. As times change there teachers were no longer highly educated and the many behavior problems brought there school down. We are so happy to have found a school with high standards and the many extra activities these children have for them. The teachers in 5th grade were great and am hoping this will be another successful
year for. Close Quote
