SERVICE SPOTLIGHT - NIKO
Your greatness is not what you have, but in what you give - Alice Hocker

Niko was 7 years young when he lost his paternal grandfather and namesake to cancer. It was the first time he felt the impact of the disease and the first time he experienced heart break.

On February 25, Niko and his hockey brothers and sisters will be joining the Charlotte Rush Junior Hockey and shaving their hockey flow to raise awareness and funds for St. Baldrick's in the fight against childhood cancer.

Please help us skate towards a cancer free future and support Niko's efforts to honor his grandfather's memory and everyone battling this disease.

Together, there is hope. Together, we can make a difference.
The last day for regular hot lunch ordering is Thursday, Feb. 10. All orders placed and paid for between the 11th and the 15th will incur a $10 per person (not per family) late fee. Thank you.
