Firefly Families,

We hope you all had a great week!!

Thank you to our generous families who donated items and spent time preparing food for the delicious Black Heritage meal that was provided to staff this week. Your generosity and efforts are truly appreciated! The meal was not only delicious but a meaningful celebration of diversity and inclusion in our community. We are grateful for your contributions!

Just a reminder that our Fireflies have a 4-day weekend due to the Easter holiday. Please mark your calendars for the days off and enjoy this time with loved ones.

Filled with Firefly Pride,

Carla
