Our incredible team of parent volunteers - people like Joe and who started at 9am and didn't leave until 10:30 pm and Douglas who worked all weekend even though his kids are in High School. What a great team-building activity! There were lots of connections made during the build, faces matched with names and we hope new friendships formed! We couldn’t have done it without every single one of you. Every last minute desperate call for volunteers was answered. Every time the schedule changed, our volunteers attempted to juggle their schedules and help. Through all the frustrations, we received such positive support from all our parents. Thank you all!!!
