Shell Beach Elementary School
This school is the best! I was really nervous at first! My son is a first grader and he has blossomed so much in the first 100 days of school! I cannot believe it. It is due to the patient and hardworking staff that I would like to thank! Especially to Mrs. Madalyn Flechs! She has done a wonderful job with my son. I look forward to the next 5 years there.
