Washington Elementary School
My granddaughter has attended Washington School all the years and grades from kindergarten and now to 5th grade. We like it and the teachers VERY much.
We are also VERY disappointed that Mr. Kono is no longer there for the music program. He is the BEST, and inspired the kids. We ALL miss him.
