Located in the heart of little Paxtang Borough, this school is a perfect fit for parents who want their kids to truly know what it's like to be part of a community. Although not as many students walk to school as when I finished there 15 years ago, there are still plenty of walkers and crossing guards throughout the borough to accompany them on the way. I still know many of the teachers there and wave when I walk by. It's also been provided extra resources to handle a considerable number of ESL learners, so students get to experience learning in a diverse, multicultural environment. Years later, I'm still extremely grateful for the lessons I received inside and outside the classrooms at Paxtang Elementary!
