Happy Mother’s Day to all the mothers and special women who make a difference in the lives of our students each and every day! A special thank you to Crane Presbyterian and The Gathering Church for helping make it possible for our PK–3rd grade students to shop for the important women in their lives. It is always heartwarming to watch our students thoughtfully select the perfect gift and take such pride in showing their love and appreciation.
