Treasure Forest Elementary is a wonderful school. The high level of education and dedication that these educators have along with their love for teaching is exceptional. They truly care for the community they serve. These professionals go above and beyond the norm to be there for their students and help them in every way possible in order to provide the best current methods of eduction they can offer. Something that stood out to me recently was the renovation of the school playground. This playground is more impressive then even several private school playgrounds at other schools I have toured. People around the community along with staff members were involved with this project and created a beautiful safe playground for the children.
