Rhea Groves lives in Hermitage with her husband, an active-duty member of the Air Force, and son, now 7 years old. She parent leader with Nashville PROPEL.
When it came time to enroll my son in elementary school, I wasn’t really sure where to start.
Like any parent, I wanted Jayshawn to go to a good school, one that would provide structure and challenge him. Most importantly, I wanted my son to find a place where he could be happy, grow, and truly enjoy learning.
But when I visited our zoned elementary school, I realized pretty quickly that it wasn’t going to be the right fit. It was a decent school, but I just didn’t see enough excitement or passion. I knew in my heart that it wasn’t a place where my son would thrive.
