Edison Elementary School
I loved this school so much. It was sad when Mr. Potter left, he was so awesome. I am very sad that they're tearing it down though. The park is THE BEST park I've ever been to. I live in Texas now so I don't get to see it much, obviously, but i remember it well. The classes were fun and the teachers were nice. Best school I've ever been to. Also, the food was actually good haha. Everyone always had a meal they looked forward to.
