LAQUISHA FORBES -WINSTON: I believe the teachers at BEAM are great... When the school was called MULABE it was really terrific. teachers give a 120 percent to each student. I really appreciated the fact school was even in session on Saturday for the money club... The children were giving opportunitis to invest money into stock. Mr. Sroka was great... Ms. Terry one of the best teachers in my book treated every child like she had given birth to them herself... The staff is great.... If I had more little ones I would definately enroll them in this school... My children were one of the first students to enroll in MULABE when the school began and then I recommended it for my neices.... I have 2 MULABE graduates and 2 BEAM grads... Now I have 2 high school grads and awaiting 1 more..... I appreciate the knowledge and the discipline the teachers at MULABE/BEAM has instilled in my children and neices............ This school really has gotten children ready for high school, college, and beyond. Thank you MULABE!!!!!!!!!!!
