The Gift of Giving

It is the season of giving. I am very proud of each of my students for giving generously to support others in need.  We were able to fill up the cart that goes to the Nazareth House! 

I am sure, like me, many of you will be taking advantage of the great sales going on. While you are out, please keep Toys For Tots in mind. As a school we are collecting toys for local less fortunate children in large boxes near the office. It really speaks volumes when we fill those boxes up.
