Edna Brewer Middle School

Our son has really done well at this school. All the teachers and staff seem to take pride and ownership of this school. They expect the students to do well and behave, which helps the students do exactly that. The teachers helped build my son’s confidence by helping him to take risks (like giving a talk to elementary students at a nearby school) and treating him like he was smart.

Well I did not grow up in this school and found out about it today when their middle school concert band played at the Grand Lake Farmer’s Market, and wow!
I am impressed.
The teacher/​conductor obviously cares about these kids, who care right back about doing a great job.
The music was wonderful.
If my kids were fortunate enough to have such a motivating teacher, then I would be volunteering all over the place!
Hit the bake sale at the farmer’s market today, or pitch in some money to them, like I did, for playing the Get Smart music… Fantastique!
