I did school here from first to fourth grade. I do love this school and would go back in a heartbeat. They have good academic classes. They also have special needs classes...almost all of the teachers I encountered there were amazing, kind and loving. They do serve a healthy hot and cold-based lunch every day. Everyday they also have a special. Music art, p.e., library or computer lab... they spread those out to one a day in a certain order. They have recess every day. Kids K through first go to the playground, and fourth grade goes to the blacktop and plays with basketballs and other things. They have a fall Christmas and Valentine's party every year. They provide breakfast every morning before school. And they provide after-school care at YMCA until 6:00 p.m.
