Big thank you to our families, friends, and community for the constant support—you make moments like this possible 💙🙌 And shoutout to for hosting us and helping make the night feel extra special 🍕✨

We’re looking for “Garden Ambassadors” to help water our new Mitchell garden grass this spring and summer. Any level of commitment helps—once a week, once a month, or even just once! All ages welcome (responsible kids can participate independently), and supplies are provided with flexible timing.

We’ll share summer activity ideas and start thinking ahead to 2026–2027 planning. Topics include weekly summer meet-ups, independence challenges for kids, and ideas like a kid-friendly phone book and bike safety flags. We’ll also begin shaping next year’s meeting schedule and community outreach plans, including a potential school-wide speaker.
