High Peaks Elementary

High Peaks Elementary, is relocating to Douglass Elementary building next year. Currently, HP has 2 classrooms at each grade level with a 25 student cap per classroom. With the move, the school will get a 3rd classroom per grade (assuming there is demand with the further East address). This 3rd classroom would also presumably need a new teacher. This assumes, the current student body all moves to new building, which we know isn’t going to be the case. Thus, we are looking at 33% new students and new teachers, possibly more if turnover. I have serious questions as I consider it for my students. I want to hear the good, bad and ugly. I want to hear why your kid thrived. I want to hear from parents who pulled their kids. Can this school scale? What happens when a child can’t keep up? How is this so great for GT kiddos? What about parent culture? Staff? Thanks!

Savory pie shop

Whatever happened to the spectacular new zealand savory pie shop (tip top pies)?

it seems like it has turned into a ... new ... zealand ... milkshake ... shop ...?

I was so confused i thought I was at the wrong address. This shop was my absolute favourite, particularly their thanksgiving pies. It also seems like their website has expired. I get if they went out of business but I am interested to know how of all the businesses to replace a new zealand savory pie shop it was a new zealand milkshake shop that took its place.
