Marquez Avenue Elementary School
Steven Siegman: I love Marquez. I'm a teacher's aide and I love to go to work. The kids are fantastic. They work in class, and play in the playground. We have a relaxed atmosphere and people behave well enough so we can remain relaxed. Mr. Hollis, the principal, sets the tone for staff and we put the children in a poistion to learn, and they do.
