Shout Out!
Britni Nunn, President of the PTO. She is always there when you need her!
PTO parents - thank you for your giving heart. If called on, you never let down.
Mrs. Chapman - for staying after school and helping Mrs. Griffis get ready for the read-in.
Mrs. Virgina Loza - For continuing to give your time and talent to the school, though your boys have already graduated. Don't move please. :)
Ryan Pickett - A junior who was a willing victim by braving the masses and read to the students during the Family Night Out reading event.
***You are appreciated!***
