After going to a Douglas county school, moving to Trails West Elementary School and to the Cherry Creek School District has been the best decision of my life. Although the Douglas Country School District was okay, moving has made me become a better student and made me open up to more friends of different ethnicities.

The SPED team is accommodating, listens t...
