    Leo Gutierrez is our grandson in first grade at Alki.
    He visited us on Kauai and got allot of excersize. He rode his bike, swam in the pool, snorkeled, skim boarded and learned to surf. He can now get up and catch a wave and ride it all the way in.
    He also gets very good grades at school.
    Nana and Poppy are very proud of him.

    Alki Elementary is setting the example for the rest of the country what can be accomplished with students when you have an outstanding teacher who has a passion for her job and dedication to her students and community. Ms. McChesney is the best. I’m proud to call her a friend and collegue.
