I love this school. The teachers are incredible. The diversity is wonderful. The music and art teachers are grade A. We just started after school activities such as: Soccer, Dance, Drama, Music, Arts/Crafts. The TAG (talented and gifted) program is wonderful for the children. We are working at increasing our numbers for our PTA. This school gets better and better every year.
