I love this school because of the community behind it. Even though we were hit with mine subsidence and a tornado in the same year, we have worked hard to come together to make things right for our kids.

A great school district within a caring community of several towns that pull together when faced with a tragedy. This community, this school district will re-build a wonderful elementary school once again that we can all be proud of.

My son had gone to this school and now says that he hates the modulars because they are cold and the roof leaks and...'I just want my school back'.
