William Martin, Room 3 student commenting on his learning
I like how my teacher loves doing art with us. I like how our parents can help out at our school.
Milan McQueen-Hilton, Room 4 student commenting on her teacher
I like the teachers and the work we do. The kids in Room 1 (5 & 6 year olds) are cute. I like the playground because we can play basketball on the courts and touch rugby on the field.
