Friday Update
April 30th, 2010

This week we were able to show our fantastic volunteers how much we appreciate what they do. As tough as things seem at times, we are truly fortunate to be able to have the strong support of many of our parents as well as the community. Please make sure that we let those folks know how much we appreciate them.
