It has been a great school for my kids. The staff is very friendly (even the custodian!) they know all the children by name. Parent invlovement is outstanding....and the new principal (Mike) seems very interested in the mental development of the children. I am looking foward to another great year as part of the FIRE BIRD family. The kids here are great kids.
