We had such a great turnout for yesterday’s Tears and Cheers event! When everything comes together so smoothly and parents can get to know each other a little better, some thank-yous are in order!

To our big three sponsors:
*Scooter's Coffee of Collegedale
*Tasty Donuts of Cambridge Square & Jenkins
*Cate Goins Homes

We couldn’t have done it without your support!

To the PTA board for coordinating, serving, and cleanup, a big thank you! Plus, we had a PTA member help with his first event of the year! Gentry Adams, you were a huge help! Finally to Jennifer Purcell, thank you for allowing us to take over the library!
