📢 Calling all middle and high school parents!

Are you looking to make some room in your house? If your older students have toys and games that they are no longer using, consider donating them to our Toy Swap as a new-to-you choice for our children. We are always looking for more variety in our elementary aged toys and games.

Our Toy Swap will take place on Saturday, June 27 from 10-11 am. Gently used toys can be brought to the Youth Services Desk between June 19-26. Please bring no more than 10 toys per family. Please visit the link in our comments for guidelines and to learn more.

We had a rockin’ good time with The StingRays last evening on the West Plaza! Thank you to everyone that came by. 🎶🎸
