Very interesting!
This is one school with very involved parents. It is located near where I shop and the kids are all bright-eyed and smiling. It is easy to see that they enjoy their school day. Many of these students come from the inner city, but they are motivated to get on the learning bandwagon. It is obvious that they have future achievement on their minds. They also wear uniforms of khaki below the waist and navy blue tops.
