Finally, thank you to everyone for checking our lost and found for misplaced belongings. Every six weeks, we will donate all unclaimed items. Most of the items in the lost and find do not have names in them! Please consider labeling your child's items so that we can re-unite them with their things.

Have a great rest of your week! If you have questions at any time, please know that we welcome your call or email at any time.
