BEST ELEMENTARY EVER!!!!! In 1976 I was blessed with Mrs. Jamison the most amazing teacher who left us for maternity leave, We cried she was an Angel. Dr. Rosengarden was an amazing teacher in 3rd grade he taught us how to love and care for the food garden we created with his time and energy he was great at teaching cursive also. This school taught you to earn your way with stars and badges, every school should follow the teachings they created.
