I was a student at Asher Holmes from third grade until fifth grade. It was a great school and Mrs. Wadsworth was good Principal back then, Ms. Britestein and Mr. Gray were my fourth and fifth grade teachers, but I totally blanked out on third grade! I know I was there, but I most remember fourth and fifth grade. Best of Luck in the new school year! -AMH
