Dear Community Members,
As we prepare for this summer and construction / renovation we
will be in great need of boxes to pack up and move entire
classrooms, the library, etc so asbestos removal can occur.
Please make an effort to save paper boxes from work or any boxes
that can be used to pack things and when packed are not so big
they cannot be moved. You can drop them off here at school.
Thanks,
Bob Noll
