Thank you! Thank you! Thank you! Thank you!

Thank you so much for your time and donations to make our Fall Fest Fun Run a HUGE success! We look forward to this great event each year and the wonderful opportunity it provides for families and students to get to know each other a little better.


The students had a BLAST!! The GREAT BIG shout out to the PTA for always supporting this event and creating, assembling, coordinating, and running the activity stations. And another GREAT BIG shout out to Mr. Roemer and Mr. Blazek for all the planning and coordination.
