Community Celebration - TOMORROW!

We're all crossing our fingers for a sunny evening but, if it rains, we're still going to have a great celebration...just inside. 

Don't forget to bring your picnic blanket!

The good news is, a little bit of rain won't stop our kids from soaking our teachers at the dunk station!
