Tell us about the Cedar Riverside neighborhood

and

the Cedar Riverside Family School!

How can I explain what it is like to live in this neighborhood?  There is a lot of diversity.  I have a huge community in this neighborhood.  If I describe Cedar Riverside to some one, I probably say they can find a lot of different restaurants.  There are many places to worship.  I live on Minnehaha Ave. Most of my neighbors are students of UMN and Augsburg University.  I like to see them because they give me courage.  The nicest place to be is when I go to the park with my children, so I can read whatever I can find and my children can play.  The neighborhood looks beautiful to me.  What you can notice about your surrounding is you will see different people wearing different clothing and come from different countries.

I like Riverside because it has a University close to the neighborhood.  It has a hospital, a lot of buildings to live or rent.  You can find restaurants from different parts of the world.

I don't live in this neighborhood, but I like this neighborhood because there are many people from different countries, and schools, hospital, Mississippi River, and many stores.  I am very happy to get in this school.  They have a daycare for children and we have lunch.

I like Family School because Family School is in my neighborhood.  My school has a childcare.  My school has a van.  My school has math.  I like my teacher.

I live on Minnehaha Ave.  The buildings are very good.  I study at Cedar Riverside Family School.  There are other adult schools.  The CRFS daycare is free.  I am studying English, Math, and computers.  My kids are close to the room.

I like my neighborhood because there are schools and jobs everywhere.  There are people to help me a lot if I go shopping and laundry.  It is close.  There are playgrounds.

Cedar Riverside is beautiful place.  There are many places.  I walk 4 days a week. There are many people from different countries.  I don't live in Cedar Riverside.  I like this neighborhood.

First of all, I'm very happy to live in this neighborhood because it is easy to live, study, shop, walk.  My country immigrants and my family live in this neighborhood.  Although I like Mississippi River and walk around there.  When I need to buy organic food it is close to my house.

I like this neighborhood because I live, work, study English and math here.  I go to Family School.  They have daycare and van and help adults and children.  There are great programs.
