School Reviews
5 1/3/2011
I can only say I attended Iveland in K-2nd grade in mid-1950s. I was in an extremely abusive home, and my days at Iveland are among my happiest memories; not to mention there was FOOD there. I visited a few years ago and was so grateful I was allowed to wander around inside. I realize this is not what your reviews call for but sometimes we just need to go back and say thank you. I loved my years at Iveland.
