Building Blocks: Did You Know?
Building Blocks Buys Walkie Talkies
We Need Your Donations!
Among other things, money collected from the Building Blocks Campaign goes towards the purchase and maintenance of walkie talkies. They are used in a number of ways, including:
  • as the primary means of communication for teachers and staff
  • to assist in reuniting parents and children in an emergency
  • to move the carpool line along quickly in the mornings and afternoons
Please consider donating to Building Blocks today!
