For FSJ Seniors, From NPSS Sr. Alt: Happy Valentines Day
Sr Alt has been working hard making Valentine’s cards and cookies for our Valentines for Seniors project. With NPSS closed yesterday, we had to ask for help; Leigh Anne baked us some cookies to add to the ones already baked in Mark’s class and we were able to borrow space at Robert Ogilvie to finish decorating.
