Hi there, Appreciate your considerate and informative illustration on Miami Shores Elementary School and all the content you're providing here is very vivid and detailed. My daughter keeps asking me if she could go there studying and she would like to make lots of friends there. I also showed her some pictures I took at Miami Shores Elementary School around 2004-2005. She is curious and asks me whether those fluffy toys in the school library are still there? :D :D We will keep understanding what we need to prepare for my daughter's enrollment and if we got some questions, I will contact with you. Thanks again for the positive and awesome impression you're providing. Best wishes, Veronica's mom.
