On this Juneteenth, we’d like to take the time to celebrate Mrs. Vivian Clanton, the Assistant Director of our Afterschool program.

She’s been with the school since it’s earliest days, and devoted her life to the arts and child enrichment

We love you Mrs. Clanton, and thank you. Happy Juneteenth!

Yesterday, we took to the garden for some sprucing up!
We’re turning it into a bird and butterfly sanctuary and are looking for any study houses. If you’ve any to donate, we would greatly accept!
We're also looking for any seeds or soil as well, if you've any to spare, we thank you!
