Absolutely terrific small Catholic elementary and middle school…read more My nephew lives with me four months out of the year, and when he's here I enroll him in OLPH. English isn't his first language, and I don't want him in an enormous middle school where, because he's a newcomer and a "temporary" student, he'd probably be overlooked academically and socially. That, and I don't want him lose a week's worth of education to endure the battery of state- and federally-mandated tests that mean nothing to him and to me. The staff of OLPH are wonderful, from the principal to the teachers to the office staff. Enrolling him is a snap. The principal greets us by name on the first day. (How she remembers our names from year to year I'll never know.) Teachers are accommodating and easy to get hold of as a parent/guardian; moreover, they work with him before school and after school when he first arrives to bring him up to speed academically (he's enrolled from March-June). And because classes are really small, he also gets lots of individual attention during class time. My nephew spends time with me in California primarily to improve his English, and even though OLPH doesn't have a special curriculum for language-minority students - he's just one of two or three English as a Second Language kids in the whole school - I see a tremendous improvement in his English speaking, reading, and writing every year, and I'm sure that's due in large part to the individual attention and friendly atmosphere he experiences at OLPH. I'm also impressed with the discipline I see on campus and in classrooms. There are no children running amok; I've never seen a classroom where the teacher wasn't in 100% control of the situation; and the kids are polite to every adult they encounter. I've never been on a public middle school campus where kids will routinely smile and greet adults they don't know, and I've been in hundreds of public middle schools in my life. The folks at OLPH do a fantastic job. As a parent/guardian, I couldn't ask for better.

I've been part of this parish community for decades and have grown increasingly saddened and…read moretroubled by the direction of the school and church under current Priest Michael. The priest has brought an extreme conservative ideology to this role that is completely out of character with the tone and values this church has always represented -- none of his predecessors led this way. Policies have changed in ways that feel exclusionary and fear-based, and when families have raised concerns, they haven't been heard. The community that made this church and school special is being eroded. I'd encourage anyone considering this school to ask leadership directly about their policies on family inclusion before enrolling. And I'd encourage longtime parishioners to ask the same questions of the priest and the diocese. The answers may surprise you.

On school days, between the years 1977 and 1982, you could find me dining my lunch hours away in…read morethe assembly room-cum-cafeteria at Cole Elementary, home of the Bulldogs. (RIP, 1981, mascot "K.C.". The sure-footed English bulldog strutted the school's halls for many years with his adoptive owner, School Principal Mr. McTeer, who, unfortunately, may also require an RIP.) Excluding holidays and sick days, that's about 196 days of patronage so the 1 star rating is not prematurely appointed. Indeed I gave Cafe Le Bulldog many chances to tidy up their Sloppy Joes -- and their service. Although a fan of the tater tots, spaghetti with garlic bread, and chocolate cake, I received more than one too many overcooked vegetable and one too many spoiled or leaking half pints of Vitamin D milk. The cole slaw (potential play on words neither recognized nor utilized in my 5 years of attendance) was bogged down in mayonnaise; the weiner wraps were unredeemed by the most generous application of mustard and the Sloppy Joes were, not unlike Irritable Bowel Syndrome, a chronic disappointment. Being the young connoisseur of starches that I was, I compromised by scraping the gloppy brown diarrhea-like matter off the bun and nibbling in a circle around the stain the best I could. The cafeteria was ruled by a stern hostess who received the unfortunate moniker "Raisin Butt". I suspect agriculture as much as anatomy played a role here, for raisins were -- and still are -- a major food export of the San Joaquin Valley. Many of us toted raisins in our lunch boxes and we would receive even more raisins in our trick or treat bags on Halloween. Finally, as very few of you will remember, Fresno (big city neighbor of Clovis) is the title of a 1986 TV mini series about dueling raisin estates, starring the illustrious Carol Burnett. Needless to say, there was a draconian flair about the cafeteria which sometimes made the entire dining experience -- from the process of securing one's seat to ingesting and digesting one's food a little bit terrifying. In fact, I'd like to start a research project to determine just how many of today's adult IBS sufferers were produced at Cole Elementary during Raisin Butt's reign. Once you sat down you stayed in your seat. Hot lunch kids weren't allowed to mingle with the bagged lunchers. Boys weren't allowed to mingle with girls. Or at least, boys were relegated to one side of the table and girls the other. Food was not to be shared or exchanged, although I witnessed many a pie given up under the table for the right corn dog. If a ruckus could not be pinned on the responsible party we all paid dearly -- well above our $1.00 lunch ticket price -- by observing a silent lunch hour. And if a ruckus COULD be pinned on the responsible party, well... one time I opened my Bee Gees lunch pail and a spider dashed out from beneath my cellophane-wrapped sandwich (my Mom the joker!) and, naturally, I was startled and screamed and was ordered to sit on the stage, facing my 200 or so dining companions, all of whom were so very...childish, and finish my lunch which, in the later years (minor footnote), always included a Capri Sun. This experiment in public humiliation made me cry a little bit but it also made me stronger. Now when I frequent a restaurant alone, and look up from my meal to catch a fellow patron's lingering gaze I scream, "What in the goddamn hell are you looking at?!" from my quiet little corner. Still, despite the challenges and unpleasantries of lunching at Cafe Le Bulldog, and despite the appeal or lack of appeal of the day's prix fixe menu, there was always a long line to get in. They did a stellar repeat business; I often saw the same faces ahead of or behind me in line, across from me or at the next table over. Some of their names I knew; others I did not. I had a lot of dining partners here over the years, none of whom I've retained as friends, colleagues, love interests or playmates. Mostly I just watched the minute hand tick on the clock mounted above the exit door. Which reminds me... Time for recess.

My daughter has attended Clovis Christian Preschool (CCPS) since I had to go back to work when she was 3 months old. It was so hard to leave my daughter in the care of someone else, but the teachers at CCPS made it easy and enjoyable for my family. My daughter is now 4 years old and absolutely loves going to PreK every day. She literally runs into her classroom every morning and I practically drag her off of the playground in the afternoon. Her PreK teachers Ms. Hannah, Ms. Alma and Ms. Katie are warm, welcoming and genuinely care about my daughter and all of the children in their care. I highly recommend CCPS if you are in need of childcare! I would encourage you to take a tour, meet the staff and see for yourself what an amazing school CCPS really is!
