I just want to say that North Elem really helped my daughter Shadiamond. We have moved to Virginia and my child is on A B Honor Roll every 9 weeks. When she was at Helena I felt like she wasn't treated right at all. They did everything in their power to get my child from out of that school. And you know what I am glad it happend. I loved the North Elem team. You all are WONDERFUL teachers. Thank you for EVERYTHING you did to help my child. We miss you guys and good luck!!!!
