Alamo Elementary School

Both of my kids attend Alamo and I can’t brag enough about their teachers. They are fantastic! Alamo is a parent involved school so everyone is involved in making the school a better place for the kids to learn. They have a wonderful, affordable after school Chinese program where the children can learn either Cantonese or Mandarin, a non-​profit run by volunteered parents for over 30 years. Go Alligators! :)

I didn’t actually go here, but I live next door, so close I can hear the presentations and the songs and the chatter on the playground. I am incredibly impressed with what I hear and, although last weekend you saw me carrying a six pack of beer past your Back to School Night, I actually respect public elementary schools that can get that good of a parent turnout. I’d send my kid here in a heartbeat… now I just have to have one.

What’s the number one rule?
BE A FRIEND!!!

I wish I could still color in class and sing songs about alligators.
Thank you for teaching me to color in the lines, to do book reports, how to use the dewey decimal system and to share. Thank you for teaching me to read and hold my pencil correctly (actually NO i still hold it wrong and I’d like to thank Ms. Sullivan for trying to scare me into doing it the right way. NO SUCH LUCK ha!)
Thank you for giving me ice packs when I fell off the monkey bars. band aids when i tripped on the gravel around that freaky power electric box in the corner of the yard, and for teaching me to count. Sadly, i still failed algebra for 2 year in middle school, all 4 years of high school, and 2 years in college. oops.
Thanks to Mrs. Hom for teaching us all that origami. Mrs. Wong for having that bomb ass classroom with the treehouse thing inside. Mrs. Golden for letting us make our own books, and especially Mrs. Ames, my all time favorite teacher (besides Mr. Avery @SFSU) who taught me to appreciate classical music, art, and READING BUDDIES!
and most of all, thank you for teaching me to «be a friend» the school motto that has stayed with me for YEARS.

Elementary school was the shit, no worries, not a care in the world. FUN FUN and more FUN. I wish I could revisit those days and have some more fun. I’ll never forget this skool, it has very deep memories.

The cleanest elementary school in the City (at least it was when I went there). Teachers are very nice. I had a really positive experience there.
