My children and I have lived in Evergreen's district for the past three years, but I continued to send them to the school my son started off at.  When that school found out I was no longer living in there district I had no choice but to send them to Evergreen, and I'm just sorry I didn't send them sooner.  I am very pleased with the atmosphere, staff and attitude my children have towards school now.  Evergreen is so much more involed in bringing the staff, children and parents together.  I was so impressed with all the activities the PTA staff puts togerther for the children and parents.  They have family picnic day and movie night, something the other school never had.  My second grade daughter even received perfect attendence for the quarter.  Also, due to the hardship the PTA has put together, my fifth grade son gets to enjoy the benifits of the CAMP KEEP program.
