Charlotte Niemand feels proud to be at Duncombe Elementary because she and her peers get to be leaders and have fun when we lead!
Gabriela Rivera Gonzalez is happy at Duncombe because we all get to make lots of friends and there are a lot of people from different cultures. We all get to be friends and we get to learn to read and do math and about each other's cultures.
Principal Ryan Flaherty shares why Duncombe Elementary is a special place. Duncombe Elementary is special because of the people who make up our school, our students, our staff and our families. The history of our building runs very deep within our community and we hold true to the tradition of loving and accepting every member of our school community. With over 15 countries and five different languages, we are untied by our diversity and learn from each other's own unique life experiences.

📚🏫It’s Public Schools Week, and we’re celebrating everything that makes Feelhaver special!❤️🖤
We asked our students what they love about Feelhaver Elementary — and their answers say it all. 💬✨
Take a look at what they shared!
Stella Rogers feels proud to be a student at Feelhaver because all her friends are here. All the teachers are super nice. Everyone is kind and grateful to be here. They're all very caring. If I'm having a bad day or bad morning, the second I step into school my friends and teachers cheer me up. I'm always happy here!
Broc Alstott explains why Feelhaver is a happy place for him, I like it here because I get to see new people and become their friends. I like to work and the adults always help me. Some work is hard, but we can get it done. You make mistakes sometimes and you get frustrated and that's ok. We are learning. I'm a hard worker. It makes me happy and very smart when I get something super hard done. It takes time, but I'm proud of myself. I can do amazing work and even when I mess up, I can always fix it. My favorite thing about school is specials, recess, Wit and Wisdom, Phonics, reading groups, math, and math groups. Pretty much I guess I love it all!
Principal Sara Fitzgerald expresses what makes Feelhaver special. As we celebrate Public Schools Week, I am incredibly proud and blessed to be part of a school that truly feels like family. Feelhaver Elementary has a small-town feel where everyone knows and supports one another while also providing big-city opportunities and experiences that inspire our students to dream big. What makes Feelhaver special is the genuine love and care we show each other every day—students, staff, and families alike. We are thankful for the partnership we have with our families and community, knowing that when we work together, our children thrive. Most importantly, we are all learners here. From our youngest students to our dedicated staff, we grow, lead, and learn side by side. I am grateful every day to be part of such a connected, caring, and committed school community!
