I have been in this school for kindergarten to 5th grade I love this school so much.

Tonight was the christmas performance and while my daughter was so excited to perform and was ready to go on stage, she stopped to help another student with her costume as no one else would help the other girl The teacher then led all of the other students on stage without my daughter who was ready to go or the other girl she was helping. My daughter missed her performance and the only lesson she learned from the school for the Holidays was that only bad thongs can happen when you put others before yourself. Happy Holdays.
