THANK YOU

WE COULD NOT HAVE DONE IT WITHOUT YOU!!! A big THANK YOU to the many, many volunteers who helped with the building remodeling this summer. Countless hours were spent by parents, students, teachers, and alumni over the summer pulling up carpeting, re-doing floors, moving furniture & boxes, painting, tearing down walls, building new walls, putting in doors, replacing ceiling tiles, cleaning, etc., etc., etc. The building looks beautiful and we gladly credit all the volunteers for its transformation!
