Fun Night
We are so lucky to have the team of parents and students we do, with so many hands pitching in to make Friday's Fun Night a success. Between snacks, set up, prizes, games, movies, materials, and just bring a ton of positive energy to the evening, we had many hands making it all happen. We need to give a special "thank you" to Lisa Barland for coordinating all of the paperwork and Shelly Masson, our FAP rep, for organizing it all into one event! Thank you!
