"Everybody Counts" Program
We want to thank every parent who volunteered to make this program successful this year. The program would not have been able to run it's course without the help from over 50 parents. Thank you to the teachers that stepped in to help where needed. We are excited to know how much our community cares to teach our children understanding of various disabilities. Special thanks to Helen Boba & Sophie Gryfakis for chairing this PTA committee. We look forward to them hosting the program again next year. Thank you!
