What people are saying

Saturday, October 11, 2014

This is my third year volunteering at HFES. I have worked in first, second and third grade classrooms, and I am in the school almost every school day for several hours. This is a very good school! In my observation the teachers here are hard-working and well prepared, and the principal, Ms. Rodd, is supportive, intelligent and in touch with everything going on in her school. The children are getting a good education not only academically but also in terms of character development and citizenship.
Are there problems? Of course. For a number of reasons, mostly economic, some of the children are not getting the ideal, highly enriched education at home that is so important to school performance. Some of the children speak no English; some have learning disabilities. But sit in Mrs. Foster's third grade, Miss Kilgo's second grade, Mr. Yancy's art or Ms. Davidson's science class and you'll see engaged children excited about learning.
Anyone who is truly critical of this school should volunteer in a classroom here. I strongly suspect that opinions would change! Close Quote
