WEEKLY HIGHLIGHTS

Great job, D'Ann!

Last week, we had a successful Community Campus Day at Cedar Crest Elementary School thanks to volunteers from YMSL HP and our amazing CCD Site Lead, D'Ann. She led the team to complete three projects that day. Her U2L school now has a brand new leveled library, a renovated counselor's room, and an organized campus arcade.


D'Ann serves as the U2L Liaison for both Cedar Crest and DeGolyer. She also is a member of the United to Learn Advisory Council. We are SO grateful for her and her leadership!
