A special thank you to the staff and administration for hosting the first ever Board Visit Day on April 18th. Board members were treated to a day of demonstrations and examples on how the mission is applied in the classroom every day and were able to observe how fundraising dollars have benefited the students. This is a best practice for governing boards that will be continued going forward.
