We would love to feature parent quotes in this section of our web page.
Send your questions and comments to sheririchey@anderson5.net

"As a grandmother of a Kindergartner, I'm always thrilled when I see a picture of Tabor in action while at school! Since I live in Georgia, I feel connected to him and his educational activities --even though I live in a neighboring state. I also go to Mrs. Patterson's webpage to find educational websites for Tabor to access when he's visiting me -- now that's fun for both of us! Thanks, again, for this great webpage!" - Ruthie McGaughey
