Central Elementary School
Silvia Salgado: I absolutely love the way the teacher treated my little one, He is a very active boy and has truble concentrating on almost anything, however his teacher somehow managed to maintain herself incredible calm. I am very thankful for all the help my boy got from his wonderful teacher. She is the best teacher I've ever known.
