That is until a group of teens find they are unable to keep their terrible secret any longer.

 As Staff Appreciation Week comes to a close, we want to thank everyone to chipped in to make it a fabulous week full of coffee, food, massages, and flowers. Our staff felt the love!
As a lasting token of our appreciation, we've been working to get the staff lounge clean, organized and well-stocked. Special thanks to Heather Fuller for taking on this task.
Here's how you can help: Our teachers would love a comfortable couch. If you have a couch in like-new condition from a smoke/pet free home, or connections to a furniture store that would offer a deep discount, please email Kristina.
