- I am so impressed with this school. A huge thank you and so much appreciation goes to Mrs Rooms the Kindergarten teacher. My son was struggling in school with teachers, class mates, academics, etc., That was before we met Mrs Rooms. Let me say that she is exactly what a REAL teacher should be! I wish all teachers were like her. Her patience, understanding, firmness, etc., was exactly what my son needed. SHE brought out the best in him EVERYDAY. The day we had to transfer schools was the worst for both me and my son. I have yet to find a teacher as special as her. If anyone is searching for what a real teacher should be, they should look to her!
