My 1st grade student came home in tears, scared and afraid to tell me what was going on at the school. My child had then told me that when students, in the 1st grade, turn in homework late, are made to walk the fence around the playground at recess. This is completely unacceptable and students, especially at this age should not be punished for something as this and not get recess. So many kids come from homes of neglect, and not having their homework on time is sometimes a bigger issue at home that is out of the child's control. I have seen it firsthand working in the school with young children

Its such a wonderful atmosphere. Our principal LeeAnn Miller is just awesome. You can go to her and talk about anything and know that she'll come up with a solution. Our staff is one of the best in the country. We all really care about each other so that it makes it a very family atmosphere. Our children are so well behaved and get the best education from our teachers. We have so many programs that help all of the families in our community and for those outside our community. Our cafeteria of which I am the Head Cook serve healthy and good tasting food. No child in our school goes hungary. If someone has forgotten their lunch we will make a plate for them. We make sure our kids are well fed. And we also welcome hugs! And we get them everyday from our students and we are so appreciative. I personally feel like they are my kids too as we keep them safe and protected at all times. With the economy being like it is with teachers and staff being laid off we need to put education first. These kids will be our adults of tomorow.
