Due to the wonderful response is sales, we were unable to distribute all the umbrellas to go home today with students. We plan to send as many home tomorrow with students as possible (remember this is only for students who bought 1-2 umbrellas). If you need to come to school to pick up your umbrella order, please wait until Wednesday, as tomorrow will be a very busy day for our ladies in the office. Thank you so much for understanding. We are so grateful for your continued support of our school.
Thank you to every family who joined us, and a huge shoutout to our dedicated community partners. Your support is what makes it possible to see so many happy, smiling families enjoying time together in our schools. We love this community!
