Another fabulous appearance for our February Fab Friday and WOW… this week’s theme — Sweet Treats — was absolutely knocked out of the park!
Our amazing families and supporters truly showed up and showed out. Because of you, our staff not only feels loved, supported, and appreciated… but their bellies are a little fuller with candy, too! 🍫🍭🍪
The smiles in the office said it all. Thank you for continuing to pour into the people who pour into our students every single day. We are so grateful for this incredible community! ❤️
