I want to let you all know that I am truly grateful for each and everyone of you. I appreciate all the support you give me to help the Borton Community.
Ms. Devin (School Community Liaison)
It is my responsibility to provide resources to our families. I will be sending out a newsletter each month to inform staff, students, and parents/guardians about what the school is doing and sharing available resources. Just a reminder I can provide assistance with gently used clothing and shoes. I can also help with hygiene items and food. If there is anything outside of that I can not help you directly with, I can get you in contact with who can help you. If you need anything, please feel free to contact me (520) 225-1063 or drop in the Family Engagement Room 💛
