Back to School Night Recap
Thank you all for attending and, more importantly, for stepping up as Ambassadors! It was truly inspiring to see how each of you not only signed up to be an Ambassador but also actively participated in at least one event since then. Whether it was joining a happy hour, engaging in a community event, or leaving a heartfelt review of the school, your involvement makes a significant impact. Your commitment drives your students to succeed, and we are honored to support them on their journey to achievement!
Congratulations to Mindy Shambaugh for winning the Back to School Night Raffle prize – Tickets to the zoo!!
