WOS is fantastic. The teachers, the admin staff, the parents that volunteer......They have supportive mini programs for kids who need extra help, or who are facing stresses and just need extra support. The garden and then donate the harvest to families in need. There's a free camp in the summer....I couldn't be happier.
