Another big thank you goes out to Perkins Restaurants for providing the bicycles awarded in a drawing for perfect attendance this year.  Both a boys and girls bike were given as prizes for this accomplishment. 

Have a great summer and check back at the end of July for updates on a back to school event!

Big thanks go out to Meadowview Gymnastics, Dollywood, Wilderness of the Smokies, YMCA of Kingsport, Sweet Cee Cee's, Marble Slab Creamery of Kingsport and American Eagle.  The money raised ($4552) will be used next year to purchase iPads for the classrooms for future testing and other items needed for teachers/classrooms.
