Birch Lane Elementary School
5
Birch Lane Elementary is a K-6 school. My colleagues and I are always excited to find new and exciting themes and methods to instruct the children. We all utilize SMART Board technology in the classroom and offer the students instruction in Art, Library, and Music as well, even at the Kindergarten level! The school is well supported by caring administrators who are always available to the staff, students, and parents.
