Staying Healthy


I wanted to express our thanks for the donations of the hand sanitizer and the hand wipes that have been coming in to our room. We are using the hand sanitizer before snack and lunch, and after sneezing! The wipes are being used to wipe down our desks.
Thanks again! Any donations are appreciated!
