    An Education that Lasts a Lifetime

    "The blending of grades that happens in community groups opens your perspective on who we are as a school. I love seeing how the interactions change as the year unfolds. The first few meetings are awkward, but by the end of the year, seniors and kindergarteners are best friends."

    An Education that Lasts a Lifetime

    “It sounds funny, but Friends helped me be more ‘professional.’ I learned time management, and I became comfortable speaking in class and communicating with teachers. I even learned how to create an environment that helps others do those things.”
