I've worked quite a bit at Cedar Road Elementary as a substitute teacher. This is a well-run school. The principal seems very dedicated and competent and in control but also approachable--not at all intimidating.
The school is fairly new and modern. They have a nice media center and large computer lab. The teachers I've worked with or come in contact with seem wonderful.
There appears to be lots of school spirit at Cedar Road. Each morning they broadcast the morning announcements on classroom monitors. The announcements are done by 5th graders. They also allow 5th graders to help out in younger classrooms as assistants. I like this idea as it helps build leadership skills and confidence in these students. I wish more schools did this.
