And today was another fulfilling day for volunteers - Orchard giving back to the community for the annual Winter Food Drive! It was great to see former and current parents working together towards making a difference. It was also great to see former teachers of my son. I brought my son with me as I'd like him to experience how giving back to the community works. He was actually glad that he went as he was able to catch up with his former teachers. I've started participating for Orchard's giving back to the community outreach program back in August of this year, and I must say I have been looking forward to it every month. The program is headed by Ms. Meuy Saeteurn-Hansen, who is also a former teacher of my son. She runs this program so well that other volunteers from other distribution location have commented on how organized this program is! So, if you're a former or current parent or just anyone who is looking to have an incredibly fulfilling, joyful, and purposeful day, please join us!

We recently toured Stratford School (Beresford Square Campus) and had a wonderful experience…read more Rashmi was welcoming, informative, and made the entire visit feel comfortable and thoughtful. The campus felt warm, organized, and well structured, and it was clear the students are happy and well cared for. One of the sweetest moments was seeing a few girls in my daughter's prospective classroom come up to say hello -- it truly reflected the nurturing environment. We're genuinely excited for her to start this upcoming fall and look forward to joining the Stratford community!

They are both so attentive and really understands every kid's strengths. Ms. Anna is always full of energy and nailed the parent teacher conference on delivering our daughter's strengths and growth areas. Ms. Richa really cares about the kids' growths - I love that Ms. Richa truly treats us parents as partners in helping our daughter gain more confidence. Even during the school tour, Ms. Richa made my daughter feel comfortable, answered my questions thoroughly, and she's the reason why we picked Stratford and campus. My daughter loves her teachers and classmates so much that she asks us why there is no school on the weekends and holidays. That's the testament to the environment they've created.

Spangler was also the person who helped bring modern sewers and clean water to Milpitas in the 1940s. Serving mainly the children in Starlite Manor and Milpitas Manor developments, it sits on a ten acre site near Starlite Park, the first neighborhood park in Milpitas. It is a K-6 school. All the kids in our family went here. Recently a lot has changed here with photo-voltaic panels over the parking area and lunch area. More portable classrooms are on the campus to house the over 600 students. The academic program is average for Milpitas. Their API scores are improving each year. Alas, there is little money to support music, drama, art, etc. This was the last of the district's elementary schools to approve wearing uniforms, so the nearby community probably has more independent thinkers than other schools may have. Spangler feeds to Thomas Russell Middle School.

Fantastic school. My daughter loves all her teachers and she gets a well rounded education…read more Unfortunately, as a public school, they still have to teach at a steady pace for all students which may be a little slower if your kid is a quicker on the uptake. We have to supplement her with additional home work at home. However, she's getting a quality education without us having to pay 10-20k for a private school. The most important thing is parent involvement. Money alone can't give your kid a quality education. This school has steadily gone up in ranks, and since the switch to Common Core testing instead of API, this is now a 10 ranked school. This just shows that the API can be gamed by rote memorization. As a parent, I had to relearn some of the concepts with Common Core, but it makes a lot of sense. I'm not sure why other parents hate it. The most important thing about Common Core is that there is not one way of getting the answers right. I teach my kids the curriculum method but I also teach them the old methods as well. Knowing more than one way to solve a problem and understanding *why* and *how* are the keystones of Common Core.
