Principal’s Message:

A Heartfelt Thank you to the Hank and Barbara Greenspun Family

I want to extend a heartfelt thanks to the Hank and Barbara Greenspun family for their generous donation to our school community. Their contribution will be used to complete several projects to improve our school.

We began with our landscaping project, which was completed this week. The Greenspun family’s generosity allowed us to landscape four student areas with beautiful turf that has transformed the look of our campus.

It brings me joy to see the students enjoying their new space. They now have a peaceful and inviting area to sit, relax, and converse with friends. The grassy area has created a college-like vibe on campus, and it’s heartwarming to witness how much the kids are loving it.

This project would not have been possible without the Greenpun family’s kindness and support. It fills my heart with happiness to see the positive impact it is having on our students each day.

So once again, a special thank you to the Hank and Barbara Greenspun family for their generosity.
