Although, it was my elementary school and is a place I will always remember attending. My childhood memories were spent here with teachers that were so kind and helpful to aid me in learning. I remember the reading competitions that the grades had to see who could read to earn a trophy. I still have the trophies in my room...lol. I remember when there was a red car on the playground and I remembered when the playground guards would tell you to not throw snow b/c some kids would get hurt when it had ice in it and it would injure them. This elementary school was the school I had the best times at as a child. My street was right behind the school and I remember once yelling to my house at the edge of the playground thinking that my mom might be able to hear me...I didn't realize that she was most likely inside and wouldn't hear me at all. I loved gym class, art and music. I rememember my 2nd grade teacher letting me bring in my parakeet to show the class. I remember getting stickers on my paper and I remember the art show that the school had which was when the students artwork would be shown in the hallways. Overall, I had some wonderful lasting memories at this school. I will always remember attending Whiteford Elementary and learning about so many things. I like to think that part of the reason I want to become a teacher is because they had given me such personal attention and such pride in my work as a child and that I look up to them because of that:)

If I can save one child from going to this school, I will feel really good about myself. It has…read morebeen over 50 years now, and I still look at it as hell. They will tell you they've changed, but I don't think so. The cliques and bullies are rampant and the nuns are complicit. All the good extra-curricular activities (play, yearbook) went to clique members coddled by the nuns. This is an important time in your child's life, and the lack of confidence that the experience causes will be a lifetime consequence. You are not helping your child by paying to send her to this private school. It's better to send her to a public school and encourage and pay for her to participate in activities, clubs, even travel. Most importantly, if your child is telling you she is being shamed and bullied, and the nuns are part of it, BELIEVE HER.
