He enjoys his school and every am he is so excited when he was awake with a smile because he knows that he is going to Harris Hillman School. I have to take him to school to see his school and show him that he will be back there soon and see his teachers and principal. This is the way that he has to go to his Dr.s appt.and He enjoys his Vandy drs. He has a smile and now he knows that he has a conversation at his drs appt with a smile.I rate this school with a 5 and more.
