Thank you PTSA!

An enormous thank you to our fabulous PTSA who put on a lovely "Breakfast at Tiffany's" for our Employees of the Year last week - not to mention an incredible 7th grade Social the day before. Each year it's bigger and better, and we just could not be luckier to have such a powerhouse PTSA. We don't know what we would do without you!
