*Thanks to Gloria, JoAnna, Mary, and others who poked their heads in to make sure FLS had enough help during the fire drill. We really appreciate your help making sure our kids are safe! And just because we didn't need too many extra hands this time, please keep checking!!! ~Carol G.
*Kindergarten is off to a great start thanks to our new hardworking friends Sarah, Amber and Alyssa. They have all gone above and beyond, are so much fun to work with, and we are so happy to welcome them to the team! ~Jennifer Wolf
