Thanks for making Family Fair a success!

The Family Fair was once again a huge success thanks to the fun and games provided by our creative 6th grade students! Many thanks go to event coordinators Carrie Turkot and Becky Schneider for a job well done. Also thanks to parent volunteers Ilene Magpiong, Stephane Willocq, Sarah Thompson, and the many parents who helped out with serving and clean up in the dark! And finally, a round of applause for the 6th grade teachers--Kailtin Leaver, Peter Lamdin and Roger Wallace--great teamwork!
