| Quotes from some of our parents |
| "Keep doing what you are doing. The dramatic changes we've seen in our child regarding work ethic, and confidence have been approaching miraculous." "Elsen, you are doing a fantastic job thus far." "The patience and love that the teachers show my child, are just what he needs. I have seen a positive child coming out of his shell." "I have a different child at home." |
| A quote from one of our students |
| "I think this school shows other children that this school will help you. I like school because it helps you to learn about science, and it helps you learn to read. I have made improvement. It helps you to have an education. School helps you with everything." |
