Your support has made a meaningful difference, and we are truly thankful for everything you do. Whether it was helping out in the classroom or lending a hand at any of our activities, your contributions have helped create moments of joy and connection for our kids, staff, and parents too! You’ve shown what true community spirit is all about, and we are so lucky to have you by our side. This Thanksgiving, we are deeply thankful for volunteers like you who make our our school a better place! Wishing you and your loved ones a warm, happy, and healthy Thanksgiving!
