Isabell Huizenga, Kynzie Scholl, and Marlee Meyerink gave Mrs. Teresa Neuman a gift of $108 on the First Day of School. They hosted a lemonade stand this summer and donated all the money to the Neuman Family to help with their medical expenses! Thank you girls for the OUTSTANDING Act of Kindness!

Thank you to Avery DeVries for donating bags of recess equipment for each elementary classroom. She hosted a "Volleyball Camp" for her Senior Project and used the money she made to purchase playground equipment for our students. The kids LOVED all of the new balls, jump ropes, frisbees, and games. Thank you Avery!
