I Love This School

I am sooooo glad that I put Brendon in private school! Today we had they set up a Mother's Day Celebration for all of the mom's in Brendon's class. The kids all drew a picture of their mom's and we had to pick out which one was us. They served us breakfast and made us a present and a card. These are some of the most loving people that I have ever met. Last year Brendon was in public school and the difference is amazing. When Brendon was in public school he used to cry every night when it was time to read! It was really hard on both of us. These are some of the changes that I have seen since the switch:

• Brendon is happy!
• Mommy is happy!
• Brendon has had excellent acedemic progress, and the teachers actually teach!
• They have reading buddies from the upper school come and help them with their reading every day.
• The teachers actually love my son, as if he were their own.
• Brendon has alot of friends and a small class size, so more attention for him and less cliques at the school.
• They teach my son to love, be kind, and care for others.
• He is learning good morals.
• They do creative projects that help the children learn about many different things to make them well rounded.
• The teachers not only encourage, but require proper speech. No ebonics here!
• Uniforms alleviate the need for the kids to feel pressure from wearing expensive name brand clothing.
• Every month they focus on a specific area of science (the planets, animals, etc.), which is very important to me. Brendon can tell you every planet in order from the sun. Pretty impressive for a 7 year old.
• They have special activities to include the parents in their children's school. Plays, breakfasts, parties, etc. They encourage the parents to be very active in their childs school.

As you can see the difference is well worth the extra money. I don't think that you can put a pricetag on a good education. His school doesn't even cost any more than when I had him in daycare. I know that I made the right decision, and right now I am so glad thankful for his teachers and his school.
