With patience, nurturing, and all around acceptance, Orchard raised me when one person couldn't do it alone.

If I ever have a kid, I'll do my best to ensure they get to go to a school as fine as Orchard. Only shame is, they used to go from K-8, if I recall. But to know they're focusing their teachings on earlier ages is just as righteous to me.
