Thank you to the parent volunteers and teachers for supporting all the children in making their beautiful winter lights decorations and for the lovely display in the cafeteria. Thank you to the teachers and staff for working with our children and offering their time to support the POP parties and fundraising efforts. Thank you to all who bid on an auction item, attended the party, and supported these efforts in any way.
