Lynne Thigpen Elementary School
Jessica Vonch: I really couldnt say enough about this school and their staff. My daughter has been going to this school since Kindergarten and is now in Second Grade. My daughter has had some struggles with her reading and writing, and the teachers were right there lending their extra time with some one on one. She has attended their wonderful summer school program, and they are now also offering a after school program that she will be attending for a little extra help in things. My daughter just loves the teachers there and they are all very welcoming people. I really couldnt ask for a better school and staff for my daughter to learn her schooling from. So, Thank You too Lynn Thigpen Staff!!
