Amber submitted this review to participate in my flipcam Give Away:

I do not have children, but there?¢‚Ǩ‚Ñ¢s daycare, preschool, elementary, middle and high school. One of the fellow wives I met said the high school was not up to par. There?¢‚Ǩ‚Ñ¢s an Elizabethtown branch of WKY and is military friendly.
