Fill the Bucket for George Elementary School!

Our PTO has been in contact with George Elementary regarding their needs after the tornado on Wednesday. Mr. Swope, principal, said that right now, a big need is just having cash to support families for various random expenses. Therefore, we are going to have a "Fill the Bucket" event during our arrival and dismissal on Friday, April 8th. We will be outside in our car-rider lines and we welcome any of your coins or bills. All cash will be collected and delivered to George Elementary on Friday.
