Jessica: Moving here from Florida and placing my son into Blackshear Elementary school was a GREAT choice! Three weeks after enrolling him he is now reading 3- 5 words and spelling them! While living in Florida he was struggling with the reading and was not happy to go to school. He is very happy to go to school now and we are very pleased with the wonderful cheerful welcome his teachers and staff gave him upon his arrival. Thank you Blackshear Elementary we love you!
