I'm 43 an I remember being in kindergarten there a long time ago. I was a troublesome kid, I liked to wander the halls an not really take naps an quietly walk by other classrooms. Had to repeat but it was some of the best times of my life as a kid. Best school for developing children imo. I'm thankful for the Quality of caring teachers I had then that doesn't exist now
