We are so excited for our first party of the year!  Each family was asked to sign up to attend and/or  support one party for the school year.  Our leadership team created this idea with the intention of limiting our school family's exposure to not only COVID 19 but all illnesses.   For those of you that signed up for the Fall party (and future parties),  we are asking that only one adult per family come to the party.  This includes additional adults, but also siblings.  We appreciate your understanding and continued support!
