We are thrilled to have had the opportunity to celebrate the Parent Action Team members who volunteered their time to make this school year a great one. We would also like to thank Invest in Children for their continued support of the UPK program and their commitment to helping children and families.
We are grateful for all that you do, and we look forward to continuing this work together.
