During a recent government meeting, Evelyn Nichols, a parent and former educator, praised Strawberry Point School for its commitment to student success and effective leadership during challenging times. Nichols, who moved to Mill Valley in 2020, highlighted the dedication of the superintendent, district staff, and school personnel in navigating crises.

She noted that while some families initially seek different school assignments, those who enroll at Strawberry Point often become devoted to the school, frequently opting to commute rather than attend closer options. Nichols emphasized the efficiency of the commute, stating that many families find it easier to navigate morning and afternoon drop-offs at Strawberry Point compared to other local schools, which can experience significant congestion.

Her comments reflect a growing sentiment among parents regarding the quality of education and community at Strawberry Point, suggesting that the school is becoming a preferred choice despite the distance for some families.
