Open Quote Highly educated and caring teachers have taught my 4 children at SMS! In spite of additional classes added on, there still does seem to be a bit of crowding. I feel more should be done to address the growing communication problem that the great influx of Spanish speaking populations by the local school boards and the state DOE. Close Quote
