West Elementary School

Mignon Perkins: I love west elementary. My son was having problems in his old school. I held him back because of it and his grades. than we moved and he started going to west. his grades went up and the other problems stoped. My son passed and is ow in 2nd. grade. I just want to say thanks to the whole school and his 1st. grade teacher Mrs. Zanders.
