We extend our heartfelt thanks to the South College School of Nursing for their dedication during our Day of Connection at Owen Middle. Their hard work in cleaning and organizing the resource room ensures it’s ready for the school year. These rooms are vital, providing clothing, snacks, pantry staples, and community resources for our students and families. Maintaining their organization is critical!
