Julie is a true gem in our school community, always bringing positive energy and unwavering spirit. Over the years, she has generously volunteered her time as a Room Parent and played an integral role in many PTA events. 🌸

Most recently, Julie took it upon herself to organize our neighbors in Old Compton, working together to request a traffic review from the county. Her efforts aim to make the walk to school safer for all our students—a cause we know will benefit our entire community. 🚶‍♀️🚶‍♂️

Thank you, Julie, for all you do! Your dedication and leadership make a world of difference. 💙
