 |  |  |  | 
Last year, Tina Yang and Temmie Park, current 6th graders, had Mel Feuer as their Community Circle leader, which is a program of The Maple Counseling Center. His impact was so deeply felt by these girls that for an assignment they chose to decorate the classroom door with a tribute to Mr. Feuer.
