Keith & Karen Hayes Elementary School has the best music, art, and P.E classes. This school has very nice School Fund Raisers which teaches us also how to learn to sell things when we are older, and not to sell things to strangers so it's a very good academic program. The teachers are always informing parents of how their child is doing in school which, is very good. I have also noticed the facilitie members are always very helpful around the school, and to kids like me. Last of all, their awards are very important too since, it makes children proud when they get an award when they do something right, so it makes them happy, and thats very important to kids/teachers/and parents.
