Volunteer Tea
This morning we held our Volunteer Tea in the gym. We had the opportunity to thank our parent volunteers for supporting us throughout the year. Their time, generosity, and dedication have made a meaningful difference in our school community and in the experiences of our students. We are truly grateful for the many ways they contribute, whether through volunteering in classrooms, supporting school events, or helping behind the scenes. Thank you to all of our volunteers for your continued support and partnership throughout the year.
