Gladys Poet-Christian Elementary School
Brandi: Poet is an AMAZING school! I couldn't have asked for a better place for me daughter. She is now a 1st grader there. The principal is amazing. Mr. Maslyar is EXCEPTIONAL! He is out there every morning/afternoon in the car line opening doors for children and chatting with parents. The school is like a family. The office staff is amazing as well. Barbara is a delight to talk with. My daughter has had AMAZING teachers there as well. I have NO compliant. I look forward to many more years at PCS (my younger daughter starts Kindergarten in 2012).
