New Providence Elementary School

MamaLaurie: NPES is a great school to work at, and the kids love it too! A pretty new campus, it is so clean and bright. And the housekeepers do a wonderful job of keeping it that way.
I taught there the year before I had my second daughter and loved every day. The students were provided whatever they needed to help them succeed academically and emotionally.
