Chamberlain Elementary School
mom of 3: I am back again this year and I know we are only in the beginning of the school year. I would just like to say we have lost a great teacher that was an inspiration to me when I first came there to enroll my children. She was not any of my childrens teacher but yet she greeted me everytime I saw her while I sat in line to drop my child off to school, she greeted me with such warmth when ever I came into the school for tutoring, yet I did not tutor her class. She welcomed me with open arms as did everyone there at Chamberlain . Principal Nancy Phister and all of Chamberlain s staff welcome you as if you were walking into their home. One that I will sadly miss and my child will not have the oppurtunity to be taught by is with God now. How she inspired me was through her kindness every single day. She helped me to believe in the school system again. Thank You and as I look into the Heavens I know you are one of many of GODS teaching ANGELS. Thank You Chamberlain for all that you do! mom of 3

DAD: This is my first year with Chamberlain. You will notice I say with instead of at Chamberlain. Why, because the first time I entered Chamberlain Elementary I was welcomed by staff members I happened upon as if I were a guest in their home. On the office to the office to enroll my Kindrgartener, the principal greeted me the same. The school has all 5 stars for these five reasons, 1 saftey first, 2nd. caring and loving staff and principal, 3rd. education the teachers really have a unique way of getting the children to learn unlike our last school. The lesson are hard, and the teachers are tuff, but it seems that when you see that your children feel safe and cared for they will excell way past their limits with pure pleasure and delight. Needless to say now all 3 of my children are there. Kindergarten, 2nd. grader and 4th. grader. I tutor at this school and stay up to date with all my childrens teachers. My review is based on tutoring there and being involved with my 3 children and any and all activities I am able to attend. You wont get this much I believe from any other school because there is only 1 CHAMBERLAIN. Thanks for all that you do Principal Nancy, Teachers and staff and all the wonderful parent volunteers. Just another mom
