We Value Our Wonderful Volunteers! On Friday morning, May 16th, we will be honoring and celebrating the many contributions of our wonderful parents and community volunteers with a continental breakfast in our school library.  Invitations will be sent home to our community this week.  The breakfast begins at 8:15. While the event is intended for our parent volunteers, arrangements have been made for child care for families in need of that support.  We hope that you can (and will) attend!
