To our volunteers and parents—your support made all the difference. Whether you helped with decorations, refreshments, or supervision, we couldn’t have done it without you. 🎈🍰 Your generosity and love for our school were felt by everyone. 💞
Together, we created an event filled with love, laughter, and FUN 🎉, and I couldn’t be any happier. Thank you for making our Valentine’s Dance one for the books! 📚❤️
