For Parents to Know

The Red Hawks Nest Project has exceeded its goal of $140,000! Our community is truly incredible! Thanks to your generosity, our Intermediate students will soon have a vibrant, inclusive outdoor space that everyone can enjoy. A special thanks to Lauren Cashmore for leading the project, as well as the Kiwanis Club of Elma and the Butterfly Foundation for their generous contributions.
