Dear Parents and Guardians,

This Saturday, February 23rd, a number of our staff members will volunteer to prepare and serve meals at the Morristown Community Soup Kitchen. Many of our students also created and decorated shoe boxes filled with toiletries that will be distributed on that day as well. Thank you to all who participated and continue to support this great day of service. A special thank you goes out to Mrs. Ryan, Ms. Both and Mr. Porter for once again organizing this annual event. Have a great weekend!

Regards,
Shawn Kelly
