Western School
What I like about Western is that it's a small school where the teachers know the students and the student know the teachers. The teachers and staff do a lot to encourage parent involvement which is an essential part to our children's education, as well as host many family events such as movie nights and ice cream socials so parents, kids and teachers can come together and have fun while getting to know each other.
