This is my last year at Dorothy Nolan, and I don't want to leave! The teachers are all very kind and treat every student equally. It's very helpful that there is a school in our teeny little town so that us kids don't have to go to a school 10 miles away! For any parents looking for an awesome school for their kids, here it is! Five stars all the way!
