From my first interaction with Ms. Durrant, I could tell something was different. But it wasn’t until I volunteered in her classroom that I truly understood what I was looking at. After that first visit, I was hooked - not just because of what she was doing for the kids, but because I was growing from her example myself.

Our family has had students at Syringa Elementary for the past eight years, and our experience has been nothing but positive. We are so grateful for the dedicated teachers, supportive staff, and caring administrators who truly make Syringa a place where everyone feels like they belong. The strong sense of community is something special, and it creates a safe environment where learning can take place. Syringa fosters such a positive atmosphere for making mistakes, growing, and building confidence. We feel incredibly fortunate to be part of this school community.

We love that you guys watch and take care of Jackson so well that you know his needs and he doesn’t get judged for being super hyper. You just let him be who he is and keep his imagination. We love all the effort you guys give to make sure he is safe, cared for, and that he excels in learning. We love that you guys keep wonderful positivity towards him and others, and encourage him when he is doing really well in class and he continues to learn. We thank you guys for all your efforts in to teach teaching.

Esme is a very hard worker and does her best each day. She always listens to her teachers and says the nicest things to brighten my day. I get a picture or note from her a couple of days a week. In March, Esme brought me in a picture of a rainbow with a pot of gold at the end of it. She wrote the following: ‘If I found a pot of Gold I would get you a gift every day! Love Esme.’

Ms. Jennifer Haskett, Kindergarten Teacher

I love Syringa because I have recess and playing on the toys. My teacher lets us go out early sometimes.

Noah S., 1^st grade learner

I love Syringa because I love its playground, the teachers are nice, there are no bullies, and that is why I love Syringa.

Ireland D., 3rd grade learner

What I love about Syringa is that all my teachers, special teachers, and friends are all AMAZING! I like our Peer Leaders and that I can rely on them. Go Vikings!

Maddie M., 4^th grade learner

I have never had a teacher who didn’t show they cared. All of them are very understanding to my classmates and me.

Addie R., 5^th grade learner

I treasure the experiences I had during my 32 years at Syringa. My students touched my life. The parents were supportive of their children and appreciated caring teachers. I had the opportunity of teaching two generations. I have been able to see them succeed in their chosen professions. Several are teachers!! We had great instructors who have remained close friends over the years. GO VIKINGS!!
