Spring Fling Success:  A big thank you to our PTA members for their time and effort in planning for the Spring Fling.  It was a huge success, as well as a lot of fun!  It was so nice to see all the happy faces from our students!  We would also like to thank all the families and staff who volunteered, as well as those who were able to attend the event.  We couldn’t have done it without all the support!
