We are so fortunate to be living in the Midwest. Our students are farm kids, city kids, some come from homes with everything and some who have nothing. What is beautiful here is that we do have such diversity. We are a "super-sized" school, meaning that we have over 750 students in grades K-5. So, not only are our days full, but our classrooms and hallways are too. Being in a large school does have it's disadvantages, but overall it is wonderful to be with children ages 5-11! The older students serve as role model/mentors for the younger ones. It is a wonderful situation.
