Marigold of the week-
Our wonderful UPTO has to be my pick this week. They decided to move forward on a piece of equipment in our art room and that purchase came at just the right time. They are so supportive of things needed for our students and staff. They are also planning a 5K this Spring that they hope some staff will participate in. (More to come on that!)

Have a wonderful weekend,
