Queen Of Peace

Allyssa Seebold went to kindergarten last year at St. Rita's School in Dundalk, but when that closed, she moved to Our Lady Queen of Peace School in Middle River for first grade. Now she has to find a new school again. Her mother worries that Allyssa, who also switched schools in prekindergarten, is feeling the effects of not being able to settle in at one school. "Knowing she's not going to have the same friends next year is hard for her," Terra Seebold said, "and I'm starting to see those problems in her grades."
