Our Annual Volunteer Tea on June 9 was a wonderful celebration of the many volunteers who help make our school community thrive. The morning included coffee, tea, breakfast, flower arranging, and the presentation of our Golden Acorn Awards to volunteers who have gone above and beyond in service to our school. One of the most memorable moments was the volunteer parade through the building, where students lined the halls with handmade signs and cheers of appreciation. It was a heartwarming reminder of the impact our volunteers have every day. Thank you to all who give their time, energy, and talents to support our students and staff!
