This school is not about helping the children's education. I'm so glad that I heard Kathy Nelson is no longer at that school. To improve this school. They need to take out the principle and her assistant. Clean house if you know what I mean. I would not advise any of my relatives or friends to take their children to this school. It''s a buddy system up there playing favoritism amongst students. And what kind of teacher walks out on their students in the middle of class this year ?
