Mr. Harrington is hands down Saginaw best teacher. He made me who I am today.

Honestly man, I have really fond memories of this place. I was a student there. I graduated from this school and moved to Doon Public over in Kitchener, and it never beat Saginaw. In fact, even in my senior year of high school, I'm yet to see a school beat Saginaw in pure design perfection. Design, playground, teachers.. The whole vibe this place gave off was so safe and welcoming. I still remember the entire layout of the school all these years later. The field in the back especially. The playgrounds are designed in such a way that allow us to play a variety of different games. It's sort of split in 3 different sections: The east tarmac, west tarmac, and south-east tarmac. These different tarmacs are separated by the schools walls and allow for excellent cover for games like man-hunt. The field itself has a path that goes all the way around allowing hunting games to continue even on rainy days. It has a large baseball diamond to hide behind and a nice little spot behind the day-care's stairs, although the teachers don't really want you back there. But we always went back there anyways. I remember winter used to change things completely; the whole tarmac is sort of inlaid into the surrounding terrain so there are slopes around the back of the school. Not big ones, just large enough to be good for building snow slides on, oh and I don't think they like you doing that either.. but it was fun! All these years later, I still have dreams about this place. The friends I met there. They come to me in dreams all the time. I have such a strong emotional connection to this place that seeing kids line up on the school next to mine brings back a lot of nostalgia. Nostalgia... that's really all I can say to describe my experience there. I had Mr. Roberts as my Grade 6 teacher in 2016. Maybe ask him if he remembers a kid named Benjamin Sandhu? Back when I was there, kids weren't into phones and especially social media, as Facebook was pretty much the only thing available. Things have changed drastically since then. But I urge you to check this school out nonetheless. I had a great 4 years there! Also, a side note: People seem to hate the French teacher. I don't even remember the French teacher, which is probably a good thing. I think they must've changed French teachers after I left which is why people are writing bad reviews. I wouldn't know, but she sounds bad. If anything it sounds like she needs to be fired if she hasn't already.

I went to this school in 3rd grade and immediately transferred out when I was moving into 4th grade. Obviously there would be positive improvements towards the school since then but the problems I went through here have really hurt my academic self esteem. I'm in a freshman in high school now but this moment still hurts my trust in teachers. Being the new kid was a lot harder than I thought, I was constantly excluded from my classmates and people were only nice to me when they wanted something from me. I was never checked up on by any adults privately. Since I had no friends to pair up with for partnered activities, I didn't have anyone to ask for my French teacher's assignment. I forgot her name because it's been so long but I remember she has a distinct birthmark under of of her ears. Having her as my teacher made me miserable, I went home upset and it was to the point my family thought I was being bullied because I didn't eat anymore, I was losing weight, I wasn't sleeping, and I stayed home "sick" so often. But it was just my French teacher. I was making a paper doll out of tissues to cope with my emotions, I was shy and didn't know how to speak english very well. My french teacher proceeded to single me out, humiliating me in the process, by yelling at me! Why would you yell at a literal child?!? She yelled at me over me not having a partner! I started to cry quietly but she just kept yelling. That memory was cut short but it shook my little child soul, I remember it as terrifying and embarrassing. After crying my classmates started showing more compassion to me, and at some point I do remember pairing up with someone and explaining to my homeroom teacher why I was sobbing when she returned to her class. I don't remember what she said but nothing was done about it. Another occasion is my French teacher making it seem like I was trying to cheat on a test. I had obvious attention issues and underlying learning disabilities, so what I did was look up from my test ONCE because I was zoning out, and my french teacher GOT MAD AT ME?? "Eyes on your own page," before she took my desk and moved it away from everyone else, further embarrassing me and singling me out. This was a heavily blurred memory until a few weeks ago when I overdosed on my medication and suffered from a manic hallucinated episode in my room and remembered everything regarding my childhood and realized how much small things can impact you in the future. After my mom tried stopping me from hurting myself, I confided to her about everything and she was so angry. She wanted to bring it to any higher up school director but realistically nothing can be done about the past. All I wish for is that the students are now in better hands of the staff, and that the teachers make a better effort to check up on their students. I don't doubt there has been significant change, but this moment still impacts my well-being and nothing will invalidate my experience. To parents who want their kids to go here, please check up on your kid every now and then privately in their room. If they show signs of being bullied, consider their teachers too. A teachers job is to protect and assist the learning growth of students, but I was failed too many times by my teachers even after grade 3 and transferring out. Thank you if you read my review.

You realize just what an amazing school this is when they change schools for grade 7. Teachers are amazing and really care at this school. It is a healthy environment and really well maintained.
