Cancelled: Back to School Bash

Due to the recent COVID-19 cases in our community, the PTA board has made the difficult decision to cancel the Back to School Bash scheduled for Friday 9/10 from 5-7PM.

We realize this will be a disappointment for many of you, and we apologize for the short notice. We hope to gather as a community as soon as it is safe to do so.
