I wanted to share this nice thank you note from West Broad Street Elementary school. I hope you're able to read it when you click to enlarge, as it's a picture rather then a scan. Not sure why, but had difficulties when I tried to scan it and get it posted for you. West Broad Street has many children in need, some of whom are in fact homeless. How nice the children can now go outside and play with their friends vs staying indoors because of not having warm items to wear.
They also included a nice newsletter indicating things the school is doing. They discussed attendance and it's importance to the families, talk about parent teacher conferences, and other important school matters.
