- This is a fabulous school! It is very wel run by Mrs. Catherine Stephens. Everyone (Staff and Students) is friendly and smiling. The kids (for the most part) are happy to be there and are learning a lot. There are even enrichment programs to help keep the smarter kids from being bored. These teachers all give 110%!!!
Plus we love Mrs. Stephens philosphy of "One and Done" Funding Raising. Other schools in the area are constantly fund-raising, but here they focus on one fund-raiser early in the year, and that's it. They also teach the students to give back to the community because each grade level sponsors a local charity that they give 10% of the money they raise.
I can't say enough about this school. It's a blessing to go here!
