I used to go to this school in first grade and let me say, it was GREAT. I always bug my dad about moving back but he wont. This school taught me great skills and I even still have the video of the Christmas program from 2007,2008, or 2009, Im not sure what year but I mention that because of the great musical program they had. They also have the best art program I have ever seen. I'm and 6th grade now, back in Michigan but I always brag about this school and the friends I had.
