This school has won the blue ribbon for education award many times. I am a parent of a smart add challenged child. The teachers motivate her! She went from a C student to an honor roll student with 6 times the AR points. We have a booster club, where we do "free things to reward & enrich the children's lives." The teachers are great, as they are there for the right reasons; they love children, enjoy teaching them, & BELIEVE in each child. I am proud this school is this is a "No bully zone!" The children are taught to stand up for other children, tell a teacher, principal, parent etc. They have student conferences about how to work out conflicts in ways that make other students feel good, by pointing out what is right with other children by what they like about them. Teachers give up a third of pay to buy class equipment & supplies. Parents & others can volunteer. We run copies. Teachers have more time to teach. We help with the Librarian to dedicate more time to students. Any poverty stricken child is given food on Fridays . I have seen children who turned into butterflies: socially & intellectually. The kids have the power of Believing in themselves & others!
