Weekly Miracle Makers
Oftentimes it feels like our school is powered by Miracles. Miracles large and small happen each week to pull off all that we do here. Those miracles appear in acts of love and kindness and service by parents, children, staff, alumni, community members, and more, and each week we highlight a special one here.
This week’s Miracle Makers are EVERYONE who so generously contributed to our Staff Continuing Education fund on GoFundMe! We are shocked to have raised almost $2,000 already. Thank you so very much to all of you who showed your support for our team, and we promise to return to our dreamy little campus with lots of new ideas, tools, resources, and energy to pour back into our community.
Community News
We are participating in the Keys Healthy Start Diaper Drive again this year. If you have diapers you won’t be using or are willing to purchase diapers to donate, please keep an eye out for the diaper drive bin.
