(4 / 5) Flag as inappropriate - My granddaughters go to Wahneta Elementary School and they love it. My younger granddaughter was in kindergarten last year and was able to get extra knowledge by learning Spanish. The older gtranddaughter is in 3rd grade and was just telling me how much she likes all her teachers.
