7. I wanted to commend you and your staff on creating an outstanding school environment. When our daughter was attending private school in a different state it was a battle to get her excited and ready for the day. This past year and a half has been a complete transformation. Every day she is excited to go to school and be with her peers. Her school spirit and pride is model. She’s excited to read and learn new things. She’s always trying to challenge me at the dinner table with “Dad did you know that…?” and relaying her new findings. As parents it’s a welcome and refreshing experience. Thanks for all you do.
