Wednesday, August 26, 2009

My son, starting 2nd grade this year, stated that this is his favorite school so far. He's been in other different schools due to us moving around, so this means a lot. They are very friendly here, and they have treated us with respect from day one. My son is a "special needs" child with High Autism, and they have a teacher there, Mrs. Wilson, who's very good with him, and she teaches the advanced class and my son loves it so far. I hope we can stay with this school for a long time to come.
