Week 15!

Good Morning!

It was such a joy watching your children perform on Wednesday night.  Their hard work was evident and they did a wonderful job!

We are looking forward to our Egypt celebration on Tuesday and the short week due to the Thanksgiving holiday.  There are still a few items to be donated and volunteer spots available if you would like to participate in our celebration.

Have a wonderful thanksgiving weekend!
