It seems as if every new school year brings another school opening in Saratoga Springs and Eagle Mountain. No one can estimate the worth of a good school teacher, and with a high school, a soon to open junior high, growing elementary schools, and charter schools, our community’s children are being taught lessons they will take with them through life.
So with another school year ending, The Crossroads Journal decided to ask residents:
What do you think is the most important lesson your child has learned this year?
“They learned self-defense through RAD kids.”
Angela Duke, Eagle Mountain
“Life is about responsibility. You go to school whether you like it or not, but once in a blue moon you get to play hooky.”
Vivian Hamner, Saratoga Springs
“Working with other kids. How to interact more with other kids.”
Melanie Sandburg, Saratoga Springs
“Probably reading is something they’ve done a lot better in.”
Robbie Johnston, Eagle Mountain
“The biggest thing he has been working on is following directions and participating in a group setting.”
Kimber Barlow, Eagle Mountain
