School Reviews
5 5/1/2007
This school is very involved with it's students. I had children to go here in 1981. Now 3 of my grandchildren are attending. My grandson was part of the All-Star basketball team. Even though they didn't win very many games, he still learned sportsmnaship. So I think the school is teaching some of lifes most important things. Reading, writing, arithmatic & morals.
