Back to School Lunch- A very big Thank You to all of of our volunteers who helped coordinate and contributed to our Staff Lunch last Friday. We were able to provide them a hot lunch with delicious desserts and beverages on their long day of working in their rooms.

Ice Cream Social- What a wonderful night it was to see all the students throughout the building to meet their teacher and enjoy a cold treat! We appreciate all of the volunteer help in making the evening a success.
