School Reviews
5 10/12/2006
Lockwood Elementary is a wonderful school that involves a lot of extracurricular activities. There's band for 6th grade, choir for 5th and 6th grade, spelling bees for 4th, 5th, and 6th grade, they have sales and parents are alloweed to come,they have parties, they have special days like pajama day, and P. E., art, and music, is for everyone! They teach everything a parent will want their children to learn. I was there since kindergarten and I loved it! Every summer I would be so anxious to return! The year 2006 was my last year there, and I cried on the last day, because I knew I was going to miss it very much, and I was right.
I would strongly recommend this school to anyone who would want their chid to be a succesful person in their life.
