Cheri Overstreet was a blessing for my son. We moved him from a detrimental program and we were so stressed. But Cheri not only met him where he was developmentally every step of the way. She helped him to thrive and grow. I can only hope that the rest of our experiences with 9R will be a fraction of how amazing Cheri is. She showed kindness and patience to everyone - not just us - and I haven't found a single parent who hasn't adored having their child in her classroom. If you have a preschool age child who needs 1/2 day preschool I cannot recommend Cheri's classroom strongly enough.

Needham is in transition as a new principal started just this year. For 4 or 5 years Needham had a principal that rarely stepped foot in a classroom and did not get along with staff. Test scores just came out this week and it shows that Needham has fallen behind in math and science during the former...

Needham is a wonderful, loving, open school. It just received its IB authorization and is truly embracing a world view teaching philosophy. My 2 children could not imagine being anywhere else. This is one of the few elementary schools in Durango that offer a second language.
