Friday, February 6, 2015

We couldn't be more pleased with Cheshire Elementary. The Principal, Mr. Syroka, and his staff are all very engaged with the students and parents. One thing that impressed me is that they always call you by name. I feel we truly are lucky to be a part of this school's community because they keep to a high standard of education while also making it fun to support it with various programs and activities.
