School Reviews

The super wonderful time I had at Monteagle Elementary School today where I read "Sassafras Tales" to the entire student body from 2nd to 8th grades. That school is not only immaculate, but everyone is so friendly and helpful. It cannot be just one person who creates that kind of atmosphere, but the principal, Janet, certainly helps. The students were so polite and happy. Their appreciation for art shows all over the walls and the tiles outside. Kudos to Monteagle Elementary School!
