Bonus Thought: Studies show K-8 Model beneficial.

In this Bonus thought article, http://www.edweek.org/ew/articles/2016/10/05/shorter-school-grade-spans-linked-to-bullying.html  Education Week, a weekly paper I receive, had this article that talked about a recent study that found students that are in shorter grade spans are linked to more bullying among other issues.  Those other issues included math and reading achievement declines, absenteeism rising, and students feel less connected to the school.

This is why we love having a Preschool to 8th-grade option for our parents.  It gives them a place of community, a home away from home.  It is an interesting read that goes a little deeper than what I just summarized here.  We also want to thank you that you are part of our family.
