Open Quote I love this school! Great teachers, great support, and a great building! I have 3 children with 2 currently attending and our oldest attended from K-5th grade. The teachers challenge our children while caring for them. The after school support & PTA are second to none. This in turn means that we have lots of involvment in school sponsored programs.
