 Pretzel Volunteers🥨October Pretzel Club | Friday, October 3rd 

Volunteers were in place, pretzels were ordered....and then our community had to shelter in place. This led to several lunch volunteers also being locked inside the building. Thanks to their quick thinking and kindness, we were able to get the pretzels to them and get them sorted and delivered on time.  We truly have THE BEST community!   

Here are more ways to get involved!

We host a wide variety of events throughout the school-year designed to build community and create fun opportunities for students and their families to strengthen their relationships outside the classroom. The best way to stay informed about upcoming events is to Subscribe to our HSA Calendar.
