Appreciations
Thank you to Matt and the MS wood shop students for building 2 Gaga Ball courts (and to Mr. Robbins
for acquiring the pallets). The students love them!
To Ashley and the students in her class—Thank you for hosting the weekly community lunches. Dining
together has so many wonderful benefits, yet it is a fading experience in our culture. I appreciate that
that you followed through with this vision and hope we can keep building on it for years to come!
To Emma—your baked apples were a delicious addition to the community lunch. Thank you for taking the
time to do this for our students.
