Testimonials: Memories from Daycroft Alumni

“Daycroft rocks!”

“My time at Daycroft was so much fun. I loved it! My teachers made things fun and they taught in a way that was easy to understand. I learned a lot of cool tricks in subjects like math and writing. One trick I really liked in writing helped me learn cursive. I still use many of these tricks today.

“I really enjoyed after-school activities like jump rope, t-ball, coach pitch baseball, and soccer. The coaches and my teammates were so supportive of each other. It was never about winning and losing. We all depended on each other.

“Altogether, the only word I can use to describe my experience at Daycroft is: ‘Incredible!’ Daycroft rocks!”

—Kari Hart

“Wonderful teachers”

“I graduated from Daycroft after 6th grade in June 2004 and I now attend Greenhills High School. I loved Daycroft for the five years I was there. It had just been built on Zeeb Road when I started 2nd grade. The highlights of my years there were the evening musicals at Christmas, written by Sheila Chaps, and the Spring Play.

“I also remember, in 3rd and 4th grade, starting to learn time management, with the ‘3 before Thursday and 5 before Friday’ rule. I still use the same kind of concept that Mrs. Sperendi and Mrs. Wahl taught me.

“Our 5th and 6th grade garden incorporated science, gardening, and learning about the environment with Mrs. Sczchwski.

“I also loved the library and helping Mrs. Main re-file the books. I always found one I wanted to sit right down and read. I really looked up to Mrs. Main and thought she was so cool. I still do.

“I loved going to school at Daycroft because of all of the wonderful teachers and environment there.”

—Catherine Lillard
