🌸 A HUGE thank you to Carver Road Baptist Church and Wright Brothers for the beautiful flowers and planters out front of our school! Carver Road was also on hand Monday morning to welcome staff with Chick-fil-A biscuits after Winter break. Wright Brothers, a commercial heating and air company, offered a community project grant, and Carver Road Baptist chose our school as the recipient of this wonderful donation. Their support and kindness are always such a blessing to our staff, students, and families! We’re so grateful for partners who help make our school a more welcoming and beautiful place. Thank you! 🌼 #CommunityPartners #Gratitude #SchoolSpirit #Blessed #ColtsCan
