I love the Immersion Program at Niemes. The dedication that the teachers have to each child is commendable. I only wish we still had Ms. James.

An example of this is at back to school night I watched Ms. Jimenez circle the classrooms as I waited for my parent session to begin and never once did she say hello to any parent or student.
