Very very happy

I snatched this from the NPNA list, Rebecca did a nice job summing it all up--

"Ypsilanti Public Schools' Estabrook Elementary School was one of 23 elementary schools in the state to receive Blue Ribbon status. The Michigan Blue Ribbon Exemplary School Program is designed to recognize schools that have made outstanding improvements and demonstrate a strong commitment to academic excellence. Estabrook is the only elementary school in Washtenaw County to receive the distinction.

The Blue Ribbon program was established in 1982. Schools under consideration for the award must complete a comprehensive report of key criteria for school effectiveness that serves as a basis for an extensive assessment of the building and programs. For details contact Estabrook principal, Pat DeRossett, (734) 714-1900."


Pat does run a tight ship. Her staff are all happy and the kids are individuals without bouncing off the walls. We heart Estabrook!
Good Job Ms DeRossett!!
