Great school. I have many great memories. I'm glad my children attended Stine Elementary. The teachers at this school helped me develop two wonderful kids that are not afraid to take chances. Who aren't afraid to speak in front of a crowd. They helped me develop leaders. I thank them so much from the bottom of my heart. Many of these teachers have moved on or retired. I just wanted to give them credit for their hard work.

Stine Elementary School is a good school. I strongly believe Stine Elementary should have some Science classes and programs for "all" children. I am a believer about Science being the key to our future so why not teach more of this subject to our children. The Teachers that I have meet are great My son is in 1st grade and my daughter is in Kinder. So far so good. We need more challenges for our children. The more education we expose our children to the more they learn. Children are not born knowing what they know Parents and Teachers are the ones that teach them. Parents and teachers should work together:).children's brains are like sponges the more we teach them the more they observe.
