Parents' Comments
Parent #1
Very flexible with class diversity. Things are on a sliding scale, which makes things hard on the teachers
Parent #2
The community involvement at this school in unparalleled. The ability of the school's director, Judy Kahn, to create community is outstanding. There is a social justice piece that I value more than anything. I feel like the children are learning how to be good people and how to support others in a way that is real. If this school went all the way through elementary school people would be beating down the doors to get in. Once you are a Beatie Street parent, you meet other people in the community who are or who have been parents at this school and you know you have something special in common.

On My Own
We met up with my father for a weekend in Grayton Beach, Florida . It was too short as the girls don't see nearly enough of their grandparents, but we packed it full of fun. We spent our last day on the beach
