• Awesome job and kudos to Madison Simis who participated in the AZ IB day of service! They collected 20 boxes full of books during their book drive and then every student made encouraging bookmarks to go inside each of the books. The books were then donated to another school who was in need of books in order to help build a school library and to encourage reading! Well done, students and staff!
