I have two children at Lewis: a 5th grader and a kindergartener. When my oldest was ready for Kindergarten we looked at several schools and chose Lewis. We have had a wonderful experience! The teachers are amazing, caring, and kind professionals. Admin is very accessible and easy to work with. It makes me feel good that my I drop my girls off every day at Lewis, and I know they are loved and safe. My girls have thrived academically and emotionally. The school is so supportive of not only the children that attend the school. They are also supportive of the whole family. The education process is truly a partnership between the child's family and their teachers. I couldn't have asked for a better elementary school experience for my kids.
