School Reviews

I have been involved with this school since 1965, when our oldest son started 1st grade there and was followed by his 5 siblings. His 3 children went there as well as our youngest daughter's 2 girls. So, I am a parent and a grandparent. In 2 years I will be a school great-grandparent when our granddaughter sends her little one to the pre-school. I intend to still be involved there. I have always said, "this school will close over my dead body." I''ve had to fight to keep it open in the past and will continue to do so. I am very proud of our school and love, love, love Jackie Walz, our wonderful principal!
