“I like my Optional School, Rozelle Creative and Performing Arts Elementary, because it is a great school.  My teachers care about me and they help me learn.  They don’t just let me turn in any kind of work; they expect my best all the time. We just finished our Fall Exhibition and I was so excited about it.  My parents help me put it together, but all the teachers at the school help put things together so that the projects showed how great they were. We are the only creative and performing arts elementary in the city and I like being a part of this program.  I like to sing and I like to create things and Rozelle gives me the opportunity to do all of those things.  It’s the best school in Memphis, Tennessee and the World!”
