Hello Balls Bluff families and Happy Tuesday!

Thank you to everyone who contributed to the Soup Luncheon for our staff last week—your generosity was truly appreciated, and I’m sure it brought some extra warmth to their day.

Hope you and your family have a fantastic week!

Warm regards,

~Rachel Wallace, PTA President
