A Note from the Nurse
The school clinic could use your help. Even though the school year is winding down, we still have a need for some clothing items for our students. The clinic could use donations of the following items:
-- New, packaged boys' underwear in sizes 4-12
-- Gently used gym shorts (elastic waist) for boys and girls
Donated items can be sent in with your child, or brought in to the front office. Thank you!
