Thank you PTC
I wanted to take a moment to extend a thanks to the PTC and all of our parent volunteers for your incredible support in organizing our fall party. The event was a fantastic success, filled with fun, laughter, and memorable moments for our students. Your creativity and effort in planning the activities, crafts and providing treats truly made the day special. It was wonderful to see our students so engaged and excited, celebrating together.
Thank you once again for your dedication and enthusiasm. We are grateful to have such an involved and supportive community!
~Mrs. Mate
