With enthusiasm, they asked to bring seaweed…

It’s impossible to sum up all the ways that Petite School benefits the children of our community in a way that those who don’t share our values can appreciate. However to those who are fighting the good fight. These are my children two of whom attend our school and one who will in the next school year. I disliked school from the very start… My children who think very similar to myself enjoy their school day. In a large part due to the wonderful teachers and volunteers who make up our school. They take great pride in their studies. With enthusiasm, they asked to bring seaweed from the local beach to the school garden. A garden that they all have been involved in before and during their enrollment in the school. Not only is our school viable in numbers it has values that can not be measured.
