Sainted: I would like to saint the staff of St. Michael's School in West St. Paul. My son Oliver attends kindergarten there. The staff really is amazing.
When I bring Oliver to school and we walk through the halls, different teachers will say, "Good morning, Oliver, sorry to see you were sick yesterday, glad to see you today."
I think that is rare, and special to have people go out of their way like that. I think that is going to help Oliver with his self-esteem and confidence. I have seen tremendous growth with his reading, writing and spiritual growth. I feel totally comfortable trusting these people with the tremendous responsibility of introducing education to my son. Mrs. McSweeny and Mrs. Charley are amazing, as is the rest of the team.
