I went to St. Thomas More Elementary School back in '1986' I was 6 years old. It has been a long time since I've been there but I do remember when I was a student at school there. It was a decent place and I liked the teacher I had to. I wasn't at the school for very long, but a year I think. I also went to Ashburn for Preschool.
