Their dedicated teachers were able to teach effectively in small classes at their local, rural school. They got the opportunity to learn hands-on out on the nature trail- an experience that really made Little Red unique. Teachers like those at Little Red and my wife, Sue, make a difference everyday and create a better future for all of us.””
